Oh, whoops, indeed.  I had missed that the value gotten back out was from the attribute, not the property.

In that case, yes, we should be returning "foo".  It's an authoring error to set such a value, but nothing wrong on our part.  We just parse it as an integer when mirroring it into the size property.

> Tangentially related, current spec text is different from what is quoted in comment 3. The IDL attribute's value no longer magically changes to 1 or 4 depending on whether "multiple" is set.

Yes, always read the WHATWG version of the spec, as it's more up-to-date: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-button-element.html#attr-select-size
