select: content from options doesn’t show up

[NV]

test/select/select-test.html:

Labels are empty.

[NV]

Did this ever work?

Seems like select.contentController (RangeController) never receives a content from the DOM. I don’t see any code that looks up for options on the select element or queries <options>.

@francoisfrisch is it not working by design?

Correct, in digit and matte we try to read the initial values from the DOM when it's possible but in this case the only value provided by the DOM is a string while the content of the select is an array of objects.

Not sure what do you mean by that. selectElement.options is a collection of options, definitely not a string.

I see what you mean, I didn't consider creating a clone of that object.

I have added a new topic of discussion for the next montage meeting about where we should draw the line of things we should do in the Abstract components. I think this is somewhat related to that, because reading defaults is part of the generic API.
