Comment (by richardkentgates):

 Support for placeholders is forthcoming. Since accessibility is the issue
 and placeholders add additional hinting or information, this advancement
 in common CMSs would support the goals of screen reading software by
 adding further assistance to its users. While the progress is currently
 with accessibility-specific markup, it shows intent and progress toward
 incorporating these technologies into screen readers. Considering that
 WordPress development on some issues can take years, I think it would be
 prudent to incorporate these changes now and allow native development of
 placeholders in WP core.
