> Time-after-time, there is need to style your select options in a 
> DropDownChoice component. For example, the different options need to have 
> different background colour, or something.
> This can be accomplished using Select/SelectOption, but here you are required 
> to re-implement all the intelligence already built into the 
> dropdownchoice/listchoice component (automatic notnull and localization, for 
> example). 
> How could we leverage the existing functionality of the DropDownChoice but 
> enhance it with the ability to parametrize option attributes individually?
> Our suggestion is that we refactor suitable hooks into the rendering phase of 
> the xxChoice components, i.e., a method along the lines of  "String 
> getOptionAttributes(T t)" to be called, during the render phase of a 
> DropDownChoice (in order to add attributes for the option tag).
> With this kind of impementation it would then be easier for anybody to 
> 'sugarcoat' their DropDownChoice without breaking the existing 
> inplementations. For example, one way to use it would be to just add a 
> getDispayStyle method into your implementation of the IChoiceRenderer, and 
> implement a respective check in your overriding "getOptionAttributes" -method:
> MyDropDownChoice extends DropDownChoice() { 
>   @Override
>   protected String getOptionAttributes(T t) {
>     if (renderer instanceof MyChoiceRenderer) { 
>       ... and sugarcoat my option ... 
>     }
>   }
> }
