Yes I agree as well. It is counter-intuitive but I'm sure there was good 
reason for it initially, and I guess you can see an argument both ways... as 
you say: the option tag does have a value, which suggest that a select tag is 
a key to value mapping. It's just not perhaps how we see keys from a Map & 
Java perspective.

As Rahul said it would be an incompatible change. I find the optionLabels and 
optionValues a more flexible option: full control over the order of labels and 
no misunderstandings.

The only way I can see that this change could be made would be if an 
additional attribute was added to the tag, eg. reverseOptions="true" but 
hopefully with a better name. Something along those lines would be a simple 
solution I believe. Thoughts?

Alternative is to mark this as WONTFIX or INVALID I guess.
