Description

Tempest view attribute bindings appear to omit an attribute when the bound value is numeric 0 or float 0.0. This is surprising for non-boolean attributes such as data-*, where "0" is a meaningful value.

We hit this while rendering a proportional conference schedule. A talk starting exactly at the beginning of the timeline had start_percent = 0.0, which we render as:

<article
    data-talk-lineup-talk
    :data-start-percent="$lineupTalk['start_percent']"
    :data-width-percent="$lineupTalk['width_percent']"
>

Expected output:

<article data-talk-lineup-talk data-start-percent="0" data-width-percent="10">

Actual output:

<article data-talk-lineup-talk data-width-percent="10">

This is (to me, at least) unexpected behavior. It looks like the intent was to drop :empty-attribute="" - which is a defensible choice given HTML's semantics, but it's a bit too wide. On a data-level, the value '0' is semantically relevant - it shouldn't be a view layer's decision to completely omit the attribute in this case. I expect this to be a bug due to a non-strict !empty()-check.
