You're right it isn,t necessary. The use of option tags is for
output using select as in
<CFQUERY NAME="fooquery" DATASOURCE="foo_dsn">
Select foo1,foo2 from foo_table
</CFQUERY>
<form action="select.cfm" method="post">
<select name="letter">
<cfoutput query="fooquery">
<option value="#foo1#">#foo2#
</cfoutput>
</select>
<input type=submit>
</form>

Except you DON'T need the option with cfselect.
<cfform action="select.cfm" method="post">
<cfselect query="fooquery" value="foo1" display="foo2"
name="letter" selected="B">
</cfselect>
<input type=submit>
</cfform>
That would only be for any option you want to show that AREN'T
returned by the query, such as a default or NULL value.
<cfform action="select.cfm" method="post">
<cfselect query="fooquery" value="foo1" display="foo2"
name="letter" selected="B">
<option value="">Select A Value If Applicable
</cfselect>
<input type=submit>
</cfform>
