Add user input fields, usable as placeholders
<displayShortName>GMail</displayShortName>
<inputfields>
<inputfield key="USERNAME" label="Screen name"></field>
<inputfield key="GRANDMA" label="Grandma">Elise Bauer</field>
<!-- label will be shown to the user as description for the field
It's not localizable (too much effort, and most ISPs are local).
 
key can be used as placeholder in the settings (see below)
 
The content can be empty or a default or example value.
The example value may be the default text field content,
shown as example next to the textfield, or not shown at all.
