Sorry, copied and pasted wrong attribute values; that should have read :

> <STYLE type="text/css">
>       #query option {width: some fixed width [2]}
>       #query option[value="1"] {text-align: left}

Ah, more complex, and somewhat harder (perhaps impossible); in the
absence of any distinguishing markup around "12S" and "by_target",
you would have to try to target "first-word".  Maybe something
along the lines of :

<STYLE type="text/css">
        #query option {text-align: right; width: some fixed width [2]}
        #query option::first-word {text-align: left} or
        #query option::first-word {float: left}
</STYLE>

Also untested.
