Hi folks,

currently the option element isn't allowed to be empty.

But it is perfectly possible to create an empty option element, e.g. with  
javascript, or just using markup, and it seems to work. Is there any  
reason not to allow an empty value, or is there a valid use case for  
allowing it?

The github issue: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/176

cheers
