[Newbie] form_dropdown doesn't htmlencode?

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Whoops, looks like the entities I typed got encoded for me (edited my post to show others what I meant).

I have no problems encoding all of the values in my array, just making sure I was expected to do it that way.

Not to rant my first day here, but doesn't it seem like the form_dropdown function should be doing the encoding for me? I've always thought that if a function outputs the html it should be in charge of making it safe too.
