I've wrestled with this because its something that our designer has wanted to use all over the place for an application I'm working on. It turns out to be a usability nightmare if not used sparingly.

Why was it a uasability nightmare? Would it still have been a useability nightmare if there had existed a semantic 'placeholder' attribute?

Or was it because they really should have been using labels, instead of trying to shoehorn all the labels into placeholders that disappear on focus so as soon as you click you can't see what you're supposed to be doing?
