> This should be an invalid bug?   Seems we shouldn't set the size of the select element to string.  As the HTML 5 specification shows :
> The size attribute gives the number of options to show to the user. The size attribute, if specified, must have a value that is a valid non-negative integer greater than zero. If the multiple attribute is present, then the size attribute's default value is 4. If the multiple attribute is absent, then the size attribute's default value is 1.

I think I agree.  That text requires the attribute value to be parsed as a number, which should return 0 if passed "foo".  As well, the IDL attribute is defined as an unsigned long, so it shouldn't be capable of storing a string.
