IMHO we shouldn't use infield labels - be they native placeholder attributes 
or not - for the login. I fail to see what is wrong with simply having normal 
labels next to the input fields.
If it is solely for aesthetics it still fails, because it looks bad for the 
reasons mentioned earlier in the thread.

We could still use placeholder for hinting, but there's no real reason for it 
- still IMHO ;)
