Comment (by afercia):

 Discussed a bit during today's accessibility bug-scrub. We think this JS
 trick was introduced because some years ago not all browsers supported
 real placeholder attributes. Today, there's the opportunity to use a real
 label and a real placeholder attribute. This would be more standard and
 would also allow to remove some JS.
