Well i can get the defaultvalue by direct accessing it, but i wonder
why not via jquery. It's not very consistent to access all via the
attr and defaultValue direct and i don't like that.
W3schools says it's a w3c complaint attribute so i think it should be
accessible.
This is what they say : "Sets or returns the default value of a text
field".
So i want it to be added and not some kind of workaround, because i
know one myself.
