Add default selections using "selected" attribute

[fmccown]

It would be fantastic if the selected attribute could be used to specify default or pre-selected options like so:

<select ui-select2 ng-model="mymodel" data-placeholder="Select an item"
      multiple="true">
      <option value="1">One</option>
      <option value="2" selected>Two</option>
      <option value="3">Three</option>
</select>

Then the multiple select would initially show the selected item:

instead of:

How would you use ui-select2 to load default values in its current state?
