>>Man, I could *really* see the "hint" function being viable
and quite useful. It offers up a completely new-and-useful semantic, and
there's no particular place it should already go. I'd accept this as a
new attribute without reservation if it was renamed @hint, so it's absolutely
clear what the semantic for it is.<br>

The value would display. The hint only displays when the input is both
empty and not focussed. @value negates the first condition.<br>
