Title: fix placeholder attribute in input field to behave according to spec.

As you can see in my comments in normalize.css:

The placeholder attribute in Chrome does not work to spec. This makes the text transparent on focus to work like Firefox, Safari, and the spec.

Spec gist: User agents should present this hint to the user...when the element's...control is not focused.
