If you have <select> element with <option> elements inside and one/more/none of
those <option>s have 'selected' attribute, the page displays correctly.
If you change your HTML code to have some other <option>s to have 'selected'
attribute set and do a 'Refresh' in a browser, the page remains the same, i.e.
required <option> elements are not rendered preselected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a HTML page with code like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1257">
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <select name="select">
    <option value="0" selected>Please choose</option>
    <option value="1">One</option>
    <option value="2">Two</option>
    <option value="3">Three</option>
  </select>
</form>
</body>
</html>
2. Save the page and open it in a browser.
3. Now change the <option> elements to look like this:
    <option value="0">Please choose</option>
    <option value="1">One</option>
    <option value="2" selected>Two</option>
    <option value="3">Three</option>
4. Save the page and do a 'Refresh'
Actual Results:  
Select element still displays 'Please choose'. Page source, if viewed, is
correct and updated.

Expected Results:  
Have rendered option 'Two' as a preselected choice.

The bug is also there when <select> tag has 'size' and 'multiple' attributes.
