Doch, f:selectItems sure does have the documentation.

https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/nonav/docs/2.0/pdldocs/facelets/f/selectItems.html

MM> Can you open issues?

He did open
<https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=772>,
to which I just added this comment:

  Leonardo, we can either specify that the "var" attribute is
  unsupported for f:selectItems where value is a Map, or we can push
  this to 2.1.  I am constrained to these choice because to make
  "f:selectItems var points to map" work needs a behavior change.

By default I've moved it to 2.1.  Please comment if you want the "not
supported" option and have it in 2.0 Rev a.

Ed
