Comment (by Carlton Gibson):
Worth noting for future reference from #31012:
> It's also important to note that the HTML generated for the
SelectDateWidget in previous versions of Django was valid per the HTML
standard. They did not contain a placeholder label option, but because
they were not a <select multiple> they always contained an option with a
selectedness set to true (usually the first option). This meant that the
required attribute generated for them was useless, since it would never
not have a value or be empty, but it did mean it was still valid HTML.
