            Bug ID: 232307
           Summary: AX: VoiceOver announces placeholder for a form field
                    with set value and existing label.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

VoiceOver seems to be announcing placeholder attribute contents as form field 
description regardless of whether the name/value is set for an accessible 
object that represents the form field.

For example: in this snippet:

```data:text/html,<input aria-label="form field" type="text" value="test" placeholder="this placeholder should not be announced" />```

VO already announces "form field" as the name for the accessible object, and "test" as a value. Since there is no way to not include placeholder as description via VO verbosity settings, this version is too verbose.
