Focus the select and type 's'.

Result:

'shoe' is selected, onchange does not fire

'shoe' is selected, onchange fires

Same version, but "AppleWebKit/527.3+" it works.

Though that behavior, while shared by IE, FF and Opera, isn't required by
the standard, I think.

You are mistaken.

The W3C site

That *is* the standard, not just a "W3C site".

just says that when focus is lost, and the selection has changed, then it
should fire.

And the element did not lose focus, did it?

To get changes as you type, portably, I think I need to have an onkey
event, and live with the fact that in some browsers I get both the onkey
and onchange events.

Or this bug could simply be fixed in WebKit so as to comply with the
standard and make this feature interoperable again.
