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

こんにちは TAG-さん!

I'm requesting a TAG review of the `showPicker()` method for `HTMLSelectElement`.

The `showPicker()` element is a new addition to `HTMLSelectElement` which addresses a [common request from web developers](https://www.google.com/search?q=programmatically+open+select+site%3Astackoverflow.com): programmatically showing the options picker for select controls.

  - Explainer¹ (minimally containing user needs and example code): inline in https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/9754
  - Specification URL: draft at https://whatpr.org/html/9754/input.html#dom-select-showpicker
  - Tests: PR at https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/42077
  - User research: None
  - Security and Privacy self-review²: Hopefully not necessary; if you think it is let me know and I can fill it out.
  - GitHub repo (if you prefer feedback filed there): https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/9754
  - Primary contacts (and their relationship to the specification):
      - Luke Warlow (@lukewarlow, Unafilliated, specifier and one potential implementor)
  - Organization(s)/project(s) driving the specification: [organization and/or project name]
  - Key pieces of existing multi-stakeholder review or discussion of this specification: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/7957 original request for something like this. The spec largely follows that of the `showPicker` on HTMLInputElement so most discussion occured for that.
  - External status/issue trackers for this specification (publicly visible, e.g. Chrome Status):
   https://chromestatus.com/guide/edit/5111537299881984

Further details:

  - [x] I have reviewed the TAG's [Web Platform Design Principles](https://www.w3.org/TR/design-principles/)
  - Relevant time constraints or deadlines: None
  - The group where the work on this specification is currently being done: WHATWG
  - The group where standardization of this work is intended to be done (if current group is a community group or other incubation venue): N/A
  - Major unresolved issues with or opposition to this specification: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/9757
  - This work is being funded by:

You should also know that...

https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/688 is the relevant review request for the input element. It was closed as unsatisfied because there's no way to detect if the method does anything. While the spec doesn't mandate this do anything for <select> all implementations have a picker and therefore it will so hopefully that problem doesn't matter for this request.

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please delete all but the desired option):
