Firefox 5 for HTML5 native placeholder text seems to be using 3.2:1 and Chrome 15 seems to be using an even lesser contrast ratio that Dijit/claro. I don't think we should be changing this until we get a definitive ruling that the 4.5:1 minimum standard applies to placeholder text since it has to be differentiated from regular text.

We'd have to change the claro text color to #767676 on a white background to achieve 4.5:1. To me, this does not provide enough contrast with user-typed text.

Just be sure that the placeHolder text isn't so dark that it looks like text the user typed into the field.
