Description

We've just introduced a new, hopefully minor and rarely hit, breaking change with how until() operates. Previously when until() was used in an interpolated attribute binding it would prevent the attribute from being rendered at all until there was an initial value. Now the attribute is rendered with an empty string where the `until()` occurs.

The new behavior is as if you wrote `until(promise, '')`. To get the old behavior you need to opt-in with `nothing`: `until(promise, nothing)`.

Research direction

Locate the documentation covering until() in interpolated attribute bindings and read the surrounding examples. Update it to explain that the default behavior renders an empty string, and that until(promise, nothing) restores the previous behavior; done when both behaviors and the opt-in are clear.
