Selects

The <select> element is HTML’s odd one out: its state lives in the selected attribute of whichever <option> won. Marko smooths that over — a value= attribute on the <select> itself mirrors the selected option, and it binds like any other:

<let/lang="en">
<select value:=lang>
  <option value="en">English</option>
  <option value="pt-br">Portuguese (Brazil)</option>
  <option value="it">Italian</option>
</select>

No selected juggling, no change handler mapping — the variable is the selection, both directions.

Multi-selects follow the checkbox precedent: with multiple, bind an array and every selected option lives in it:

<let/teams=["red"]>
<select multiple value:=teams>
  <option value="red">Red</option>
  <option value="blue">Blue</option>
</select>

The shipping form on the right still does it the hard way:

1. The country dropdown tracks selection via onChange and marks an option with a ternary on selected= — replace all of that with value:=country on the <select> (options keep only their value=).
2. The interests multi-select is wired to nothing: bind it with value:=interests.
3. The “Ship to Italy” button already assigns country = "it" — click it and confirm the dropdown follows state, not just the reverse.

One attribute, both select flavors, no ceremony.
