JQuery creates "placeholder" attribute on every input element

Description
Somehow JQuery silently creates an empty "placeholder" attribute on every input element. Try it out on the JQuery homepage with
$("input:first").attr("placeholder")
or native
document.querySelector("input").placeholder
Both will give "" as a result, while really they should be undefined (compare with a page with an input and no JQuery).
This needs to be fixed because in the current situation, it is impossible to detect whether an *empty* placeholder attribute is present or *no* placeholder attribute is present. This can hinder development of plugins that show custom placeholders.

jQuery does return undefined. You can't use the frontpage as a test, since it's using an older jQ version.
