Your point is well taken. But I want the _user_ to pick an option (or not), not the browser. For example, suppose your form is a survey, and you don't want to bias the respondents by providing a default, or you want to distinguish between someone skipping a question and someone choosing the user-agent-supplied default. There's the problem. You could add another button ("none of the above"), but that's not the same, particularly if one of the real options is "none of the above".

Ah well.
