If you in particular rely on that it returns an empty value because you expect that value serverside its getting problematic.

Testcases

In both cases, value is set to an empty value: value="".

No real workaround so far except browser sniffing/hacking.

Basically, this is the same problem they had years ago, but didn’t fix yet? Wake up!
