I disagree, since some users might have difficulties using it (if you pass on e.g. JavaScript, the user is forced to remove all place holders), and even JavaScript effects might be irritating (what text was there before I clicked it?). It's IMO better to display a sample text near the corresponding field (and use the title attribute, too, which I perceive as a good solution) -- that's usable as well as accessible.
