I'd like to propose to change this part so that we allow UAs to show
placeholder text even if the control is focused.
* This behavior might depend on platforms.
The password field of Windows 7 logon screen shows placeholder text when
the field is focused.
* autofocus + placeholder is useless in the current specification.
