How common is it to have a required text field where a single period is an ok
value? Or a single dash? Or the string "no answer provided"? Or a non-breaking
space?
I'm rather skeptical about making required="" go down this road. I much prefer
orthogonal features that are simple to explain and simple to understand.
IMHO if the author wants a particular value, then that's what the pattern=""
attribute is for.
