Usability would be improved if the wording was changed to ensure that the placeholder remained visible when the control was focussed. Placeholder text often contains information that is helpful to the user when filling out the control. This should remain visible until the last possible moment (i.e. when the user starts typing.) Suggested rewording: "User agents should present this hint to the user, after having stripped line breaks from it, when the element's value is the empty string (e.g. by displaying it inside a blank unfocused control)."
