Sheep dont drop wool upon death

I'm surprised this wasn't implemented when mutton was added. Unless a player gets lucky and finds a village, skipping the first night should not be commonplace. Running away from mobs and mining yourself in a hole is part of the fun of Minecraft and should at least be experienced at the start of a new survival world. For players that understand the basics already, this could add a level of enjoyment as they try to find iron to shear sheep and make a bed before night fall.
