I do want to clarify that the spec has been deficient in keeping the spec inline with the javadocs changes. The escape properties for UISelectItem and SelectItem were discussed and agreed upon by the EG, hence their presence in the API, but it seems the same updates weren't applied to Chapter 4.
I've been advocating not duplicating javadoc content within the spec to avoid mistakes such as these. Hopefully JSF 2.0 will rectify that. At any rate, I'll be logging spec bugs to have these issues resolved (hopefully in an MR).
