Comment:

 I agree with @afercia here that providing the default values as actual
 values instead of placeholders would make more sense. It is not only
 better for accessibility, but they are actual values, not placeholders.

 We could either show them initially (true default values), or we could
 consider to show them anytime the field is empty (also on subsequent
 actions of emptying a title). The latter would be a bit confusing, on the
 other hand the field being empty while the title shows up in the frontend
 doesn't make much sense.

 Also given @swissspidy's comment in today's bug scrub, this ticket might
 not be significant enough to include it in 4.7.4.
