Jason: > I would prefer to separate the metadata-bearing attributes that are used to convey a UI control’s purpose for reasons of accessibility, from the autocomplete feature of HTML Yes, many of us would, but that hit a dead end. We won’t get past the chicken & egg situation without *something*, and this is something. mgower: > where autofill was turned on, everyone would face a situation where they would now have to distinguish between what the autofill is suggesting, and what the field is actually asking for. By the way, I meant ‘autofill on’ as in the user-agent is allowed to save & paste in values. There is also the site adding the attribute to enable it. My point is that the negative general effects make it unlikely that it would be abused from an accessibility point of view. -Alastair
