Sounds good to me, since both tags support the name attribute.  This makes 
it relatively easy for current users of html:options to change their 
current code from:

         collection="myBeanName"

to

         name="myBeanName"

rather than to

         collection='<%= pageContext.getAttribute("myBeanName") %>'
