Selected option and form reset weirdness in IE, bug #2551

Selected option and form reset weirdness in IE, bug #2551

Hello everyone,
I've just added some new comments to an old bug #2551 (
http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/2551 ) that is still open from back in
the 1.2 days. I just ran into it today and dug into what was really
the problem.
Basically if you don't add a "selected" attribute to one of your
options and use an input type="reset" or reset() IE reports some
weirdness.
Is this something that could be worked around in jQuery 1.4 or should
it be assumed that there will always be a "selected" attribute?
