Details

When a LABEL attribute is used with an OPTION element in a form, the text
specified as the label for the selection is ignored. Here's the sample HTML:

<form action="mailto:Kligor.T@gee.whiz.com">
	<select>
		<option label="Apple">Apfel
		<option label="Pear">Birne
		<option label="Quince">Quitte
	</select>
</form>

I would expect the user agent / browser to display the English words, but
instead you just get the German translations.
