I like this feature but want to make sure it is interopably implemented so I don't need a script to do the same in some browsers but not others. Can it be specced?

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: That seems to be entirely a UI issue. I try not to specify UI, since I prefer to have the browser vendors innovate and compete on it. There's no real need for the UI to be implemented identically everywhere — if another browser finds another way to allow you to use the <datalist> for autocompletion, e.g. per-word, or more intelligently than just at commas, then so much the better, IMHO. 33964 2 lists.w3.bugzilla 2010-03-27 12:01:33 +0000 Ok, fair enough.
