If this feature - heaven forbid - would be used *instead of* labels, or if the label would be moved into the input field, random characters typed by the user would destroy any explanation of a particular fields purpose. E.g. <input placeholder="name"> is present on the page, but no other explanatory text. The user accidentally types in "qqqq". How will the user get the hint back? Deleting what has been typed and blurring the field. Good usability? I think not! Lars Gunther
