I've made something similar on a data editing UI back in 2011. But I found that showing the label only on field focus wasn't really suitable for UIs that contained multiple fields of similar data.
Like in the example below[1] there are two fields where you can enter coordinates data, but without a hint you wouldn't be able to distinguish where should one or the other go.

- eagleal 13y agoActually it does when you focus on an input. Having borders/backgrounds on every piece of text proved to be a bit messy in my case. It would've been cooler if I could've capture the interaction, but I don't have access neither to the live webapp, neither do I have a deployed development version at hand :(.
