Comment (by joedolson):
I'm not sure what I was thinking suggesting 'onSelect', since that's an
unrelated event... I think I was just confusing it with the spec changes
in behavior in the `onchange` event since this was previously discussed...
However, it sounds like the issue is particularly demonstrating a
variation in how browsers handle the `esc` action. This is something we
should be able to handle, just be listening for the `esc` key and
preventing action if that's the keypress.
