Placeholder text is not vertically centered in Safari

Question

Do you have any idea on how to get the placeholder attribute to vertically center in safari? Though when you start typing, the text is perfectly centred.

For me the best solution is to use line-height:normal and hack for IE 8.

input {
    height: 35px;
    line-height: normal;
    line-height: 32px\0/; /* for IE 8 */
}
