Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] HTMLSelectElement showPicker() (Issue #900)

> Concern is that from a content author perspective the expansion of the picker would imply that the user is able to enumerate the choices (visually)

Not necessarily, the `<select>` element may be scrolled out of the viewport, so a sighted user wouldn't notice either.

Not sure if focusing the control first would preclude this from satisfying any of its use cases, but since `input.showPicker()` does not focus the control first either, it would definitely make it inconsistent, which I think is worse.

Actually, it would be good to have a list of use cases for both. The explainer for this does not list any use cases, and neither did the [TAG review for `input.showPicker()`](https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/688), which makes it hard to weigh the different tradeoffs.
