Similar to #3233, which is for the "with character counter" appearance.

Could this be supported by the XForms engine? If the XBL has xxbl:mode="lhha" and xxbl:label-for="html-input", and the element with the id html-input is an <xh:input>, which is the case here, couldn't the XForms engine place and maintain the label in the placeholder attribute of that input?

This seems doable, but consider this:

it's not best practice to not have a label at all outside of the field, but we already have this option for text fields/text areas
the placeholder should contain either the label or the hint, as configured for text fields/text areas
