Sorry if my bug description isn't clear. I understand what the difference is
between an attribute being absent vs. being present but empty. What I'm asking
to have clarified is whether <input type=button value=''> should be fine in
this particular case or not.

The change that was made for bug 10710 was for the spec to state that "A label
for the button must be provided". So I guess the question I'm asking is, do we
want the empty string count as a label in this case, or not (should a
conformance checker emit an error message if it's empty)?
