Actually, that reminds me!

There was a patch a few years ago that revolved around turning  
form_select (especially multi-selects) into a div containing a set of  
form_checkbox, form_radio.

At the time, it was not used because Opera (which was dries' primary  
browser) did not properly understand the overflow: tag.

Maybe we should look at resurrecting that?
