"<option>" quirk

Hi,

I was fiddling with OW2.7 yesterday and noticed that
repeating a text string after an <option> tag in HTML
caused OW to ignore the <option> if the tag was a
duplicate. For example :

	<select name=x>
	  <option value=1>a
	  <option value=2>a
	</select>

results in a selector with 1 option - a. I realize
OW2.7 is unsupported, but I was wondering if this is
correct behavior and if OW3 behaves the same? FWIW, I
tried similar code on Netscape at work, and it reports
2 options : a & a.

TIA,

Mark Hanley
