(:input select ...:) is fairly stable -- I don't think it will change
drastically in the near future.

Sure -- it can be done with a trail, as in:
(:pagelist trail=SomePageTrail fmt=#dropdownlist:)
It can also be done by creating the select box entries
manually, as in:
(:input form:)
(:input select n {Chapatis/$PageUrl} Chapatis :)
(:input select n {Oranges/$PageUrl} Oranges :)
(:input select n {Bananas/$PageUrl} Bananas :)
(:input end:)
