Re: Practical example for 1.3.5?

Hi  Ramakrishnan,

We had built out a PoC browser extension that was illustrating that
functionality (but I've lost access to it, I'll have to dig around) -
however there is still a gap/need for more tooling that delivers on that
concept - based on using @autocomplete.

FWIW, there is also some preliminary development work happening around the
Draft Personalization Module, and the @purpose (@data-purpose*) attribute,
which is effectively the same thing. See:
https://www.w3.org/TR/personalization-semantics-content-1.0/#purpose-explanation

If you are interested in working on tooling to support this, please let me
know. I can try and assist more if you are interested.
