Re: [PHP] Re: sloppiness & stupidity

I don't know what validator you're using, but according to
http://validator.w3.org/ (as official as it gets) the following
fragment is correct in HTML 4.01, HTML 5, XHTML 1.0 Strict, and XHTML
1.1:

<select>
  <option selected="selected">test</option>
</select>

Thus sayeth the W3C, so let it be written, so let it be done.  Go read
a tutorial on the transition to XHTML as well as XML.
