Description
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/f67251360e4b76d188bb1523d7a0952c2f449e68%5E%21/ by @tkent-google suggests the HTML Standard has a bug, but I don't think this was ever reported.
We should make sure it doesn't have this bug and that the tests at https://wpt.fyi/results/html/semantics/forms/the-option-element/option-selected.html are accurate.
Tracked in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258073 for WebKit.

Start by reading the linked Chromium change and inspect the WPT results for html/semantics/forms/the-option-element/option-selected.html. Compare the HTML Standard's HTMLOptionElement dirtiness behavior with those tests and the WebKit issue. Done means the suspected bug is resolved in the specification or tests, with the affected behavior clearly verified.
