From http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#adef-label-OPTION

    label = text [CS]
        This attribute allows authors to specify a shorter label for an option than the content of the OPTION element. When specified, user agents should use the value of this attribute rather than the content of the OPTION element as the option label.

From http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt

    3. SHOULD   This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there
       may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a
       particular item, but the full implications must be understood and
       carefully weighed before choosing a different course.

So, is there "a valid reason in particular circumstances" to ignore the label attribute in option tag?
