Description

Commcare doesn't actually do anything with this information (just treated as string). Does ODK's javarosa do anything with it?

If not, shall we remove from the spec? (any unknown type would be treated as string).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the XForms-derived specification and checking whether ODK's JavaRosa or CommCare uses type="select" or type="select1" beyond treating it as a string. Confirm the compatibility impact of removing them, then document a clear decision in the specification and resolve the open question.
