I already suggest this... But we could make a Field() methode that let
insert HTML attribute to a field like html5 attributes or any other
attribute without the obligation to create a custom widget or manipulate a
generated form, etc.
Ex.:
Field('input', 'type', ..., html_attr=dict('_placeholder'='my place holder
text...'),
The html_attr should be smart and not set wrong attr to a given html tag if
this property is not a member of the tag attributes...
Not sure how it could be done, but it could be really usefull to help
improve form with new html5 attributes...
Thanks
