(What is currently done with @select could be done with > an AVT in @value.) I'm strongly in favour of having AVTs at some point. There is an argument for doing this now, because having AVTs would mean there was no need for a select attribute. If we intend to introduce AVTs at some point, that would leave us with a deprecated attribute. And deprecated elements/attributes are a pain. The other conveniences wouldn't lead to any deprecation (since they're just syntactic shorthands), and I don't see a requirement to do them immediately, if ever.
