I think we are in a gray area. I think that changing how things look
does not necessarily constitute breaking of backward compatibility.
Anyway, in this case I agree with you. I think this can be fixed and
made it work as it did before for radio buttons.
Perhaps you can help me debug this. In sqlhtml RadioWidget, why is
this code
opts = [TR(INPUT(_type='radio', _name=field.name,
requires=attr.get('requires',None),
hideerror=True, _value=k,
value=value), v) for (k, v) in options if str
(v)]
still displaying the empty option? The str(v) should prevent it.
