Karl Swedberg suggested that this had to do with accessibility and

point is simply to reduce the screen real estate taken by the form.
Scott, when I looked at the HTML Michael provided, I noticed that he
didn't use a label at all. He only relied on the value of the inputs.
So, it didn't look to me like there would be any difference in screen
real estate between the two.

Now that I look at Michael's code a bit more, I notice that it
doesn't restore the fields' values on blur if they've remained empty.
So I suppose that's another difference between the two.
