This example with "prompt=..."
https://github.com/DockYard/ember-one-way-controls/blob/master/docs/one-way-select.md#adding-a-blank-or-prompt-option
auto-selects the first option from start. So the prompt never shows up.
You can use promptIsSelectable=true to work around this issue. But then the user can select the prompt again after he already made a choice. So you also need to validate for presence.
