Guess, what, the same thing applies to the HTML 3.0 dtd. I have made the
following changes:

- <!ELEMENT SELECT - - (OPTION+)>
+ <!ELEMENT SELECT - - (OPTION+) -(INPUT|TEXTAREA|SELECT)>

- <!ELEMENT TEXTAREA - - (#PCDATA)>
+ <!ELEMENT TEXTAREA - - (#PCDATA) -(INPUT|TEXTAREA|SELECT)>

This seems to cure the problem when tested with sgmls.
