Personally I prefer to use the title solution, I have not come across a
screen reader in a long time that does not announce the title by default
when there is no label defined. I think that the objections to the
solution are mainly from standardistas who view the use as inappropriate
from a web standards view. The use of the title as defined by the W3C
"This attribute offers advisory information about the element for which
it is set." source:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#adef-title I think that
providing a description of what to put in the input would qualify as
advisory information.
