See: <http://whatwg.org/specs/web-forms/current-work/#size>

That is consistent with what both Opera and IE have implemented.

See
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/content/html/content/src/nsHTMLSelectElement.cpp#1542
(and the very  next line shows what you'd want to do for a default value of 0).

Trivial patch that make us a more conforming browser and more consistent with
both Opera and IE.

This broke the tree since the patch didn't remove the old macro.  Timeless fixed it.
