sorry for the spam, sometime's i'm stupid ;)
yes nathan is indeed correct that SELECTED should only be used once in an

more clearly, if multiple instances occur, any new instance of SELECTED will
supersede any previous instance.

wrong.
you can put it on any element in the list. cut'n'paste and try for
yourself:
<form>
<select>
<option>
<option>
<option selected>selected
</select>
</form>

Moreover, you can put SELECTED only on the item you want to show up first.
