Ah, more complex, and somewhat harder (perhaps impossible); in the
absence of any distinguishing markup around "12S" and "by_target",
you would have to try to target "first-word".
There is no selector for first-word, in CSS specifications or drafts or
as a browser extension.
You cannot style parts of an <option> element as differently from the
rest of the element, except possibly the first letter. There are no
suitable pseudo-elements. Besides, implementations of <select> in
browsers are often still special in a manner that makes them immune even
to such CSS settings that can be made to work for other elements.
The implication is that if you need good styleability for a menu, you
don't use <select> but a set of radio buttons or something built with
JavaScript.
