Form editor question

Not sure if this is anywhere in scope, but just noticed it again
so maybe worth asking.

Most form editors don't seem to allow for selective deletions of
stuff remembered (or I don't know how to find that). For example,
the 1st time I used an issue tracker (for an IETF thing) I
mistyped my name, so now I always have to pick between the
correct and incorrect spelling when logging in. Apparently
the only option to get rid of the bad spelling is to nuke
all the stored stuff which isn't good.

Bit OT I guess, but could be a privacy issue, if an employee
had entered some search terms she didn't want her employer
to see I suppose.

So I guess my question is should we have a sentence somewhere
like "Users SHOULD be able to manage individual items of
data stored by form fillers and similar, e.g. being able to
delete individual entries rather than entire lists."
