Selecting multiple options in a select element without multiple

If you set multiple option's defaultSelected attribute to true, as in 
[1], whacky stuff happens. In IE8 and Opera, you end up with nothing 
selected; in WebKit you end up with all of them selected; in Gecko you 
end up with the final one selected.

As far as I can tell, the spec currently says that WebKit's behaviour is 
correct, which IMO makes the least sense, as it should not be possible 
to get more one selected.
