Does the hint display if the input control gets cleared after loading? IMHO, The hint should not disappear on focus. It should remain until a new value is entered.

It offers up a completely new-and-useful semantic, and there's no particular place it should already go. I'd accept this as a new attribute without reservation if it was renamed @hint, so it's absolutely clear what the semantic for it is. >>~TJ > What happens if a hint and a value are both specified? The value would display. The hint only displays when the input is both empty and not focussed. @value negates the first condition. ~TJ
