Comment:
> The purpose of the empty option is to force users to make a selection by
not providing an implicit default.
You're not reading carefully. That's not about forcing users to ''make'' a
selection (as in case with form_for_model). That's about (visual)
possibility to ''change'' the previously-made-selection to '--------'.
Consider a required field which three possible choices: A, B, C.[[br]]
The form_for_model field (if there's no explicit default) should display
'-----' as default and 3 choices below.[[br]]
The form_for_instance field should display the previously-selected value
as default and 2 other choices to change to.[[br]]
''Choosing'' a value and ''changing'' a value are different things.
