I think you've got me wrong, I don't want to change anything about the
fs:option tag.

What I suggest is, transforming the two-part tags interally, at the
beginning of FormsessFilter to one-part tag, so they can be processed as
all other tags are.

It's a problem in that way, that adding more two-part tags is really
difficult. Just take the fs:textarea tag.
It really should behave like the HTML-textarea-tag (you're talking about
sticking close to HTML yourself).
Changing that takes just a seccond using my suggestion.
