Why "never" by the way?
I can imagine something like this:
input[type=number]:empty::attr(placeholder) {
display:block;
color:grey;
}
be quite useful. Or this:
img:incomplete::attr(alt) {
display:block;
color:red;
}
that may require position:absolute to be defined
for such blocks (with host element to behave as
positioning root).
"never say never", no?
