            Bug ID: 169296
           Summary: Label of an <option> element is displayed when
                    textContent of the element is empty
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 10
          Hardware: Unspecified
               URL: data:text/html,<select><option%20value="X"%20label="X"
                    ></option><option%20value="?%22%3E?%3C/option%3E%3Copt
                    ion%20value=%22+%22%3E+%3C/option%3E%3Coption%20value=
                    %22-%22%3E-%3C/option%3E%3C/select%3E

The label of an <option> element is displayed in a <select> menu when the textContent of the <option> element is empty, such as in this example:

<select>
    <option value="X" label="Y"></option>
    <option value="?">?</option>
    <option value="+" >+</option>
    <option value="-" >-</option>
</select>

This displays the following options in the <select> menu in WebKit:

    Y
    ?
    +
    -

Neither Firefox nor Chrome display the label--instead that item is blank.

This matters because a future version of Bugzilla added the label, so WebKit will render the <option> incorrectly until this is fixed:
