According to W3C HTML 4.0 Specs, "When rendering a menu choice, user agents should use the value of the label attribute of the OPTION element as the choice. If this attribute is not specified, user agents should use the contents of the OPTION element."

However, Firefox does not render the content of the label attribute.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
<html>

<body>

<form>

<select>
  <optgroup label="test2">
    <option label="label1"/>
    <option label="label2">content2</option>
  </optgroup>
</select>

</form>

</body>
</html>
Actual Results:  
Firefox does not render the content of the <OPTION> elements' label attribute.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should render the content of the <OPTION> elements' label attribute, if present.
