fix(select) ... breaks some selects with required attributes on firefox.

The commit dc149de breaks selects with a required attribute and an disabled default empty option, but only on firefox.

Please check this jsbin on both chrome and firefox.

It looks like the optional select is also broken on Chrome, because the select has A selected, whereas 'Choose a choice' should be selected

we filed an issue about this with Chromium, actually, because it works as expected in firefox, but differently in chrome --- mostly because that section of html is a bit underspecified.

I haven't kept up with the issues though, don't think I added myself to the CC list

[Narretz]

Oh, so it's actually correct in Firefox: because the first field is disabled, the second field is automatically selected? But @luismreis says that's broken. So maybe the expectation is that a disabled field can still be preselected (but not user selected), because you don't want to make a selection for the user ... regardless of required state.

the scenario which is broken is sort of hard to explain, it's easiest to just show the fiddle --- it's in one of the issues about this, can't recall OTOH though

@Narretz The scenario is this: you need a select control for something that is required, but you don't want to pre-choose one of the normal options. A way to do this is by having a default value that is disabled, so, the user can choose another one, but not the initial void/empty one.

I prefer the "show disabled option" behaviour, but I understand that it feels a bit broken - maybe I should be using another widget for this.

BTW, I started to have doubts on this being pure browser or angular bejaviour and now there's a new version of the fiddle at (http://jsbin.com/wobod/4). The problem is exactly the same regardless if angular is involved or not.
