Hi All,

According to Scott O'hara, Steve Faulker hasn't comment yet, but the answer is yes it is included as stated in the HTML Accessibility API Mappings 1.0 doc.

The Accessible Name and Description Computation 1.2 does not mention it specifically, but it mentions " Otherwise, if the current node's native markup provides an attribute (e.g. title)" from Step D.

The placeholder attribute is a native HTML attribute for <input> elements.

Thankx,
Joe Humbert
