VoiceOver seems to be announcing placeholder attribute contents as form field description regardless of whether the name/value is set for an accessible object that represents the form field. For example: in this snippet: ```data:text/html,<input aria-label="form field" type="text" value="test" placeholder="this placeholder should not be announced" />``` VO already announces "form field" as the name for the accessible object, and "test" as a value. Since there is no way to not include placeholder as description via VO verbosity settings, this version is too verbose.
