I chose Mozilla's behavior because it would yield the same item selected after
reset as it was when the form first loaded and it was conforming to the spec.
If I were to choose IE's behavior I would have either caused a different option
to be selected after reset than after load or I would have had to change the
behavior at page load also.
As Ian 'Hixie' commented, my choice seems to match the behavior specified for
load, assuming that options are viewed as added in textual order to the select
element.
In my humble opinion the case my patch is trying to address is an unusual and
unimportant case anyway. It deals with a web page that is coded incorrectly.
The biggest problem the bug caused is confusion on the user that the selection
box may allow multiple selection. Choosing any single value after reset would
have solved that.
