Re: accessible autocomplete

Yes, it seems to buggy as per https://caniuse.com/#search=datalist and you
might need a polyfill that should address issues with major browsers.  In
some browsers it has issues with input types other than text like numbers,
emails etc.. And also check browsers you need to support. Test it
rigorously before using.
