also, for internet explorers, placeholder support is pretty bad - IE10 only: http://caniuse.com/input-placeholder

So MSIE supports placeholders. How is that "bad"?

IE 7-9 are still far more prevalent than IE 10. Most IE users will be in a variant without support.

IE10 is being rolled out via auto update to IE[89] users on windows 7 if they are on automatic updates, so that'll help some, FYI. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/jj898508.aspx
