I've been slowly working on a small library <https://github.com/kintail/input-widget> to make working with the basic input widgets like <select> more pleasant to work with - I'd be interested to see what you think. The implementation <https://github.com/kintail/input-widget/blob/master/src/Kintail/InputWidget.elm#L48> handles the mapping between selected index and strongly-typed values; check out examples/ComboBox.elm <https://github.com/kintail/input-widget/blob/master/examples/ComboBox.elm> to see a simple usage example.
