This should be something like:

HTMLInputElement* inputElement = toHTMLInputElement(node);
String placeholder = inputElement->strippedPlaceholder();
if (!placeholder.isEmpty())
    return placeholder;

This way you're guaranteed to only get a placeholder string when the attribute
is supported (consider <input type="range"> for example).
