E.g. <input placeholder="name"> is present on the page, but no other
explanatory text. The user accidentally types in "qqqq". How will the
user get the hint back? Deleting what has been typed and blurring the
field. Good usability? I think not!
Therefore I suggest limiting placeholder to type=search.
I rarely see placeholders used in other context than search. Distinctive
look of search input should prevent abuse of it for other kinds of inputs.
