Description:
------------
The object is outputting invalid HTML. When drawing the currently selected item it is drawing selected="selected". This code won't render properly in Standards Compliant browsers.

HTML_QuickForm 3.2.3

Reproduce code:
---------------
$form->addElement('date', 'foo', 'Foo', array('format'=>'M d Y'));

Expected result:
----------------
Selected elements should be like this:

<option selected="true">Option Text</option>

Actual result:
--------------
Rather than this:

<option selected="selected">Option Text</option>

I specified the date object, but this appears to stem from a problem in the select object rather than date.

...says the opposite. Every month, there is someone that pops up with new so-called standards without revealing where these new standards have been published and which browser supports or does not support them.

NB: If there is a problem, it is actually in HTML_Common, not in any QuickForm elements.
