> The UISelectOne descendants, especially the HtmlSelectOneMenu is missing a 
> powerful option. They cannot be used to select nothing/null. 
> I am using the selectCountry component to select an optional nationality of a 
> person. This field is not required, so it should be able to display the empty 
> option,  resolving to null instead of a country code. I am using my own 
> descendant of SelectOneCountry as displayed below. I think however that all 
> users of tomahawk components would greatly benefit if the empty option can be 
> turned on in a super component, like UISelectOne. This is also very useful 
> with required="true". The user is then forced to select something, otherwise 
> a validation error occurs.
> Hope you agree with this usefullness.
