Sorry if i offended you in any way, Dylan. I was only making a
statement about the valididty of  selected="selected" in HTML, to
correct a wrong assumption.
I was in no way trying to thrash your atttempts of helping. :)

I have not seen any commonly used browser that fails on that syntax,
and we were several people that looked pretty hard for problems with
it at the time we managed to lobby the corrrect syntax into ZPT.

- but if there is indeed a backwards-compatibility-problem, someone
would have to take the discussion : backwards- or
forwards-compatibility first ?
