Commented Issue: TextBox.Header [9981]

Just a simple thing is going to drive me crazy.

It looks like that the Header property isn't supported by System.Windows.Controls.TextBox! WHY?
But the screen-shot at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202916%28v=vs.92%29.aspx claims that there is a Header property for TextBox!?

I am confused ... Also PhoneTextBox does not support a Header property?

Is it possible to add a Header property to the textbox control:

So I am not completely alone with that TextBox.Header question ... But what is the one and only answer for TextBox.Header? Even the MSDN article "TextBox Control Design Guidelines for Windows Phone" shows a screen-shot of TextBoxes using Header and pointing to System.Windows.Controls.TextBox that control does not support it!?

The workaround by "EGL" looks nice but how to define the InputScope (for example when I just need "Numbers") in XAML? Thank you for bringing some light into the dark ;-)

Thanks for the hints!

(Btw, when a WP7 (or even WM) user interface contains more than e.g. 10 text boxes it would be a good idea to think about a re-design of that page ;-) - since I try to be metro-conform and using as less controls as possible (when it makes sense of course) I am not afraid that I run into performance problems)
