I think that something like textareas might be nice sometimes, but I'd
suggest a more general approach. How about something like
#+begin_export_html #+begin_export_html
\textit{foo} <textarea>...</textarea>
#+end_export_html #+end_export_html
for each export format, where the latex export would ignore everything
else. Maybe an "alternative" thingy would be needed, too. Something
like common lisp's reader macros "#+sbcl" and "#-(or cmu ecl)" could be
used.
Bye,
