Comment (by westonruter):

 So how should we resolve this? Should the `placeholder` be moved to
 `value`? This would mean that the initial widget title in the widget in
 the preview will match the initial value in the title field when a widget
 is added, but if the user then empties out the field that value will
 actually still appear to persist, which would confuse users. To me it
 seems the `placeholder` would be less confusing in that regard.
