I considered that, but since disabled options don't get selected, that
wouldn't work without yet more special-casing.
It gets selected in Opera, Firefox and WebKit. AFAICT the spec makes it
selected, too ("selectedness" is true if selected="" is present regardless
of disabled="").
The spec allows <select required><option value>Choose one...<option
selected>Foo. Maybe it should require the label option to be selected by
default (either implicitly or explicitly) when the select has required?
No, otherwise there'd be no way to just select the current value without
removing the label.
Yeah.
The spec currently doesn't require there to be any select label option
if the required attribute is present on select.
Right, the label doesn't have to be present. Why would we require one?
Because without one the required attribute has no effect, so is likely an
authoring mistake.
