MDN URL

What specific section or headline is this issue about?
the "multiple" option under "Attributes"
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
The multiple option says it allows selecting multiple values, but it doesn't explain how those values are combined when the form containing the select is submitted. Nowhere on the page is this explained, and there is no reference to any standard way of handling multiple values in either url-encoded or query formats.
What did you expect to see?
Documentation of the submitted value in the multiple case when multiple values are selected.
