Selection list rendering for static mode

Hi,

I think this has been fixed in version 2 previously but appears again in version 3. For selection list in static mode, I think most people will want the display value shown rather than the actual value submitted. For example,

<option value="A">Apple

<option value="B">Boy

</select>

in this case I think Apple/Boy should be shown instead of A/B. Any comments?

One more difference I noticed between version 2 and 3 is that required field are rendered bold in version 3 in static mode but not so in version 2 (not that a big deal but just interesting: we use bold type to indicate required field, but in static mode it is not exactly a required field anymore.)

ps you can tell I really am clinging to the built-in rendering instead of any external engine.
