This is to be expected since the HTML DOM Level1 spec doesn't define 
setSelected().  The reason why you are probably familiar with that method 
is that Xerces-1.4.4 shipped with an unofficial version of the HTML DOM 
Level2 spec which was in the same namespace as the Level1 package.  The 
package name has since been changed to avoid namespace conflicts between 
HTML DOM Level1 (org.w3c.dom.html) and Level2. (org.w3c.dom.html2).

See the API for the HTML DOM Level1 and DOM Level2 here:
http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/javadocs/api/

I removed the unofficial version of the dom api from XMLC's internal xerces 
libs.  All standard api's now come from xml-apis.jar (or xmlParserAPIs.jar 
which is the same archive with a different name).

The alternative would be to use 
HTMLOptionElement.setDefaultSelected().  However, I'd avoid that since 
Xerces2 doesn't seem to have it implemented correctly.

That's exactly how you need to do it.  See the XMLC archives and the 
Xerces-j archives for discussions about this issue.
