 > Is there any special (weird?) way screen readers use placeholders we
 should be aware of?

 Screen readers read '''both''' elements in supporting browsers, for
 example: ''Link URL Link URL''.

 Use the label text to explain what the field is for and the placeholder
 for an usage example: ''Link URL `http://example.com`''.

 ''Link URL'' would not be valid content for that field, so it should not
 be presented as if it were.
