You can use parameters passed while generating data to fill
the template.  And set some variable to T at some particular loop
step.  That variable will be NIL at all other steps.

Then in the template use <tmpl_if> to emit "selected" inside
<option>s.

In this way your template and data are still completely separate.
It is GOOD THING.  But with any kind of <tmpl_equal> they will not.
