Darwin is wrong - about HTML.

You can't, but such a feature works poorly in select elements, too. Few
people know about it, and it takes care to select right.
If selecting all is something that you would expect people to want to do
often (but you you don't want to make it default), you could add a button
that selects all, using JavaScript. If you generate markup for the button
dynamically, it won't disturb when JavaScript is off.
