Description Adam Roben (:aroben) 2011-08-16 11:04:12 PDT 
To reproduce:

1. Go to data:text/html,%3Cinput%20placeholder=%22Can%20you%20see%20this%20text?%22%20autofocus%3E

The placeholder text is not shown. But it should be shown, to match Windows-native text fields (e.g., the Windows 7 login password field) and Lion text fields.
