What you are asking makes a lot of sense. In fact, that's something we
think is broken in XForms! Basically, the required property does not
make much sense as is in most cases.

You can usually add e.g. constraint="normalize-space() != ''" and have
the desired behavior.

We have also thought about having an option to change the meaning of
required to "non-blank" instead of the current "non-empty".
