Ber: the confirmation page is less like the others we have.  What makes
you believe it looks more like the others?

form_item() isn't right in a few cases. Such as confirmation pages and
things which should be using other form functions.
There was a subtle difference between form_select() and whatever
taxonomy was doing. Thats why there is extra code here. I tested it a
bit too.

+1 from me. Untill we have a general confirmation API, we should use
something like this.
Furthermore the form_select, instead of an ugly  looped selector
genreator makes sense.

All other configuration pages (eg. locale module, menu module, etc.) all
use form_item().  I'm likely to drop that bit, and have yet to see the
feasability of a 'confirmation API' (it sounds difficult).
(Ber: it is not clear from your review whether you tested the patch or
not.)

Dries, I did not test the patch thouroughly. But from what I have seen
and tested, the functionality does not change at all. Only the
confirmation page looks more like the others we have. 
Off-topic: Some handbook page with a test-program might be handy. I,
for example have very little professional experience with testing. i
just install it and click around a bit, but there must be some good
methods.
