Comment:

 It's been a considerable amount of time since this one received any
 attention. I did some testing and it seems like this is not widely
 implemented as the default behavior. In the latest Chrome, Firefox,
 Safari, and Opera, I found that the placeholder text now remains even
 after focusing the field, and reappears if the field is emptied.

 Given these findings and the shift in preference to avoid using jQuery in
 Core as much as possible, I'm going to close this out.

 Conversation can always continue on closed tickets, and this can be
 reopened if any of my findings are inaccurate or conditions change.
