Hi, I have already opened this discussion in whatwg mailing list [1] but we did not reach a consensus and I have been told to use this mailing list which seems more appropriate. To summarize, the placeholder attribute is now available in Gecko [2] and Webkit and we are now face of the placeholder customization [3] [4] [5]. Indeed, styling input or textarea can make the default placeholder style inappropriate. There is two ways to do that: using a pseudo-element or a pseudo-class. If it is a pseudo-element, the properties that will applied have to be limited probably like the :first-line pseudo-element. The pros and cons related to both ways are detailed in the discussion in whatwg mailing list. I would like to know your opinion and maybe get a consensus and write a specification before implementing something in Gecko.
