SelectItem and the HTML Title attribute

Is there an existing way or future plans to support the title attribute in SelectItem?

the html intent is to do the following as an example

   <select>
      <option value="ca" title="Canada">ca</option>
      <option value="uk" title="United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Irelan">uk</option>
      <option value="us" title="United States of America">us</option>
   </select>

Basically where some text is just too big to be desirable in the selection list display but you want it in the hover bubble.
