Well, this is for validator-related questions. The question belongs to that
category, broadly speaking, but its prelude is mysterious. However, let's
skip it, as it does not look validator-related at all.

It depends. I would say that the following does the job on IE, and for other
browsers, it's probably not possible anyway.
...
<body onload="init()">
...
<form ...>
...
<input id="foo" ...>
...
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function init() {
document.getElementById("foo").autocomplete = "off";
</script>
Of course this means turning autocomplete off outside HTML, namely in
JavaScript, but in a manner that formally complies with HTML DTDs. Even
XHTML 1.0 Transitional, should anyone want to use that oddity.
Why bother? Don't ask me. I just answered the question as it was posed.
