Looks like you are covered by Sun's CCLA (you work there)?
Nathan, what do you think? I guess there could be a case where someone wants a blank choice.

Moving my tickets to future, as I am not currently working on them.

So this patch apparently changes the behavior of Select so that <option/> shows up as an (blank) MenuItem, rather than a MenuSeparator. That's a break in backwards compatibility, although maybe it's unavoidable if we want to support <option value="">.
Actually, the current code recognizes both <option type="separator"> and <option> as a separator. Although on http://docs.dojocampus.org/dijit/form/Select only the former is documented, so maybe dropping the latter is not such a bad change.
See also #11545.

Is there any chance of this patch being accepted and commited?
This feature would help with my client requirements and remove the problem I have with #16555
If there is some problem with backwards compatibility could this be resolved by some new property such as allowBlank?

Given the break in backwards compatibility, this probably makes sense for 2.0.

I'm happy just with the knowledge that the change is planned. My workarounds are enough for me for now. Thanks guys.
