 Hi,

 If you add a field to the registration profile which is a drop-down list
 and you would like the first item to be 'Please select an option' *and*
 you mark the field as required, users do not have to do anything.

 They are not forced to 'select an option'.

 This is because when generating the HTML <option> code, a value is placed
 there. If, instead, the value was set to "", then this feature code work.

 Look through the code, there is already the notion of 'is default'. I have
 a patch which adds the notion of 'is placeholder'.

 Is this wanted in the core?

 Thanks,
 Anand
