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.
