There's no reason that autosuggest for browser URL bars and search inputs has to be any different. Given that all the infrastructure here is already present, a new attribute like suggestions="http://path/to/opensearch" would be all that's needed. It would be relatively easy for browsers to implement, and trivial for webpages to use if they're already using OpenSearch. I don't think this has to be related to <datalist> -- just have a new attribute on <input>.
