AFAIK the form plugin pretended to send the form as if it was a normal
submit. While I haven't seen a problem with the order yet, I see a
problem with this:

If the user submits a <option value="">Please select...</option>, I want
the empty value to be submitted, not the text.
Apart from that, nice work. I wonder if we could reduce the overall code
by merging both seriliaze methods.
