#23938: Placeholder attributes for input elements don't show in IE

  Version:  trunk            |   Severity:  major

 Of note: They DO work on IE 10, but not on 7, 8 or 9.

 Normal Browser sees this: http://cl.ly/image/1Q3t0Y0K1y14

 IE sees this: http://test.rvoodoo.com/wp-

 We either need to unhide the labels or apply some JS like
 https://gist.github.com/hagenburger/379601 to make the text visible for
 IE, otherwise we've crippled Post Formats.

 If we do it the same way we do post titles, then we have to drop using
 placeholder. If we keep using placeholder, then I think this may work, but
 someone will want to test on IE 10 to make sure it's not goobering up the
 layout.

 Two options patched.
