And just for comparison, here's the ZPT:

<select name="groupabbrev"
         tal:define="abbrev context/groupabbrev">
   <tal:i repeat="group context/getpastoralgroups"
   <option tal:define="thisAbbrev group/thisgroupabbrev"
           tal:attributes="value thisAbbrev;
                           selected python:abbrev==thisAbbrev"
           tal:content="thisAbbrev"/>
</select>

Stop using DTML ;-)
