When a case in a switch is selected by using a toggle, the xforms-select ev=
ent is sent to the selected case element.
Shouldn't this event also be dispatched, to the selected case element, duri=
ng the initial rendering of the form?
This scenario is not described in the specs.

Look at the example below. Case with id "step_2" is initially selected due =
to the selected=3D"true" attribute.
The currentStep value is set by the setvalue that listens to the xforms-sel=
ect event.
If this event is not fired during initial rendering, I need to add redundan=
t (and error-prone) state information to set its initial value.
