Here is a quick rundown of what I've got on my system, with the following
HTML document:
<title>Testing</title>
<h1>Testing</h1>
<form>
<select name=x>
<option> Foo <input type=text name=y>
<option> Bar
</select>
</form>
1. Mosaic/X correctly ignores the <input> tag
2. Netscape/X gets the option correctly, but has an unselectable text input
area as well.
3. Netscape/Win has the same behaviour as Netscape/X, but the two widgets
are overlaid directly on top of each other.
4. WinWeb - Has a very weird behavior. 'Bar' is in a dropdown list by
itself, followed by 'Foo' as normal text, then a text entry area.
5. Internetworks - works correctly
6. Lynx 2.3 - can only select the text entry area.
7. Emacs-w3 - show both, but they overlap
8. AIR Mosaic - Dropdown is empty, and shows the text entry area also.
9. WinMosaic - probably the same as AIR Mosaic, but I don't have it on my
system.

From the examples above, if there is some way to allow _only_ non markup
in an <option>, I think that would be best, and reflect currently broken
practice. :)
