"The field has the required attribute set but has no value selected." In implementing this for Mozilla, I realized an edge case that could prove troublesome. Specifically, what happens if you have multiple radio or checkboxes with the required attribute and no boxes checked for any of them. Alternatively, consider when the radio button is checked but doesn't have a value... and some other radio input with the same name in the same form does have a value. There's an attempt to clarify it here: "When a radio group has no checked radio button and more than one of the radio buttons is marked as required, the UA should only tell the user that the radio group as a whole is missing a value, not complain about each radio button in turn, even though all of the radio buttons marked with the required attribute would have the valueMissing flag set." Tell the user how? Visually? Through DOM events? Both, or some other way? I'm working from the DOM events view right now, and this could be the difference between dispatching one event and dispatching many. I don't require an immediate answer. Forgive me if the questions above have already been raised and discussed.
