Just be aware that this advice is just an opinion. Some people do it,
some websites (like W3Schools, unsurprisingly) think it's the only way.
It may not do any harm, but personally I can't see any advantage of
<option selected="selected"> over <option selected>.

If you're using HTML (as opposed to XHTML), value-less attributes are
perfectly fine. By the way, the "nowrap" attribute shouldn't be used
anymore at all. It was deprecated in HTML 4.01 and removed in HTML 5.
