Re: first pass of autocomplete technique

Hi all,

I'll also add that one of the more important goals is to make the
identified inputs Programmatically Determinable. This is achieved by
applying the appropriate metadata value(s) defined by the @autocomplete
attribute.

The "magic" that the @autocomplete attribute achieves is specifically
because of this Programmatc determination - the browser does simple pattern
matching against a list of values locally stored with the browser, and
supplies the appropriate corresponding value when the input is
programmatically tagged.

It should also be clearly noted that currently neither Edge nor IE support
the functionality found in Chrome, Firefox  or Safari with regard to
auto-filling the form inputs.
