If I understand correctly, your objection against "autocomplete" is that it specifies UI behavior rather than semantic information about the data (like a "sensitiveinput" attribute would). This could easily be solved by keeping the name "autocomplete" but redefine its sematics as indicating that the input data is sensitive. (the recommended default UI in UA's that support autocompletion would still be as described in the spec). Of course the name will be slightly misleading now, but thats not a big deal. "checkbox" is also a name that suggest an UI representation, but the semantics is still defined as UI neutral. regards Olav Junker Kj?r
