md-input has different font-size within md-card

[jakubweber]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

md-input has different font-size within md-card, for example if you have md-card which contains md-select, md-input on same line, it can't be aligned properly due to different font-sizes for placeholder.

What is the expected behavior?

Have placeholder font-size for the form elements like md-select within md-card consistent.

What is the current behavior?

md-input inherited style from .mat-card-content class, which has font-size: 14px; css rule. md-select has placeholder of 17px font-size.

What are the steps to reproduce?

Simply add md-input and md-select on the same line into md-card and you'll see the issue, the different size of placeholders.

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

Make form elements consistent.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

Angular Material 2.0.0-beta.8
