an example OpenOffice Writer document

I wrote an XSLT filter that transforms an HTML form into an xForms that is embedded in a writer document (.odt).
In general, it works well. However, there is a bug that I could not fix, which is as follows.

For an HTML listbox control, e.g.,
<select name="deptID">
<option value = "1">Sales</option>
<option value = "2">Production</option>
</select>

I transformed it into an <form:listbox>, e.g.,

<form:listbox form:name="lstbox.deptID" form:id = "ctrl.deptID" xml:id = "xID.deptID"
form:control-implementation = "ooo:com.sun.star.form.component.ListBox"
form:convert-empty-to-null = "true" xforms:bind = "rootBind.deptID"
form:list-source-type = "value-list" form:dropdown = "true" form:size = "20" form:auto-complete = "true">

<form:option form:label = "Sale" form:value="1"/>
<form:option form:label = "Production" form:value="2"/>

<form:properties>
<form:property form:property-name="DefaultControl" office:value-type="string" office:string-value="com.sun.star.form.control.ListBox"/>
<form:list-property form:property-name="DefaultSelection" office:value-type="float">
</form:list-property>
<form:property form:property-name="MouseWheelBehavior" office:value-type="float" office:value="0"/>
</form:properties>
</form:listbox>

Notice that the <form:listbox> is bound to an XML data element specified by the xforms:bind attribute.

To my understanding, when I selected an entry, e.g., Production, from the listbox in the resulting OpenOffice document,
the bound xml data element should be updated with the corresponding value, e.g., 2. However, the bound xml data element was actually replaced by the label, e.g., Production.

In other words, the value attribute of <form:option> was ignored.

I think this is a bug !!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
PS:

I copyied the content.xml file of the resulting OpenOffice document (my.odt file) at the end.
After openning the my.odt file in OpenOffice Writer, I selected the entry *** Production *** in the listbox,
and clicked the Submit button, which produced the E:/rootModel.xml file.
The content of the E:/rootModel.xml file was:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<instanceData>
<root>
<deptID>Production</deptID>
</root>
</instanceData>

However, to my understanding it should be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<instanceData>
<root>
<deptID>2</deptID>
</root>
</instanceData>


I think this is a bug !!!
