Comment (by Vlastimil Zíma):
Hi Israel,
we have a slightly more complicated use case, in which `required`
attribute is added by JavaScript depending on other values in the form.
Having 0 as a default value, makes things more complicated for us.
More cases might emerge based on browsers' behavior, which considers 0 as
selected.
Also looking around for HTML5 specification, it looks like hiding the
empty label for required select is not valid. According to
https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/sec-forms.html#placeholder-label-option the
empty labels must be present for `select`s with `required` attributes.
Based on Tims' closure, should I open a new ticket for that?
