Ugh, I'll file a bug.

Only Firefox shows FAIL. Both Opera and IE show nothing. Which seems to 
reflect
more what the specification currently says: "Setting the value or 
selectedIndex
DOM attributes to values that do not correspond to any of the actual values of
the select element must unselect any selected options."

I have a question about that though. What are "actual values of the select
element". That seems to be undefined. I guess what it means is the values of
all OPTION element children either specified as contents or through the value
DOM/HTML attribute of those elements. (And that normative and fancy.)


> Defined (thanks to Bjoern for some pointers).

Nice, now the term in the contentEditable specification is ok as well (as it
will refer to this definition, eventually) :-)
