Problem with the default value of the "Select one single element"

Hi,

I was trying a simple example of a select , using  items with non null values:

<xforms:item>
<xforms:label>English</xforms:label>
<xforms:value>en</xforms:value>
</xforms:item><xforms:item>
<xforms:label>French</xforms:label>
<xforms:value>fr</xforms:value><
/xforms:item>

when the page is displayed, you will see on the screen  the select with the
world English, but in the instance, the value of the select  is empty. ( it is
supposed to be "en" )
Is that a bug?

Thanks

Yes and no. Since the initial value is "empty", the easiest thing to
do is to include that value in your itemset. With for instance:

<xforms:item>
   <xforms:label>[ Make a selection ]</xforms:label>
   <xforms:value/>
</xforms:item>

No ETA on this, sorry.

Thanks a lot for your answers guys,
This is exactly what I did as a workaround.
Any idea when this is going to be fixed ?
