Looks like Mozilla is now interested: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?content=requestautocomplete
Strawman proposal: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/RequestAutocomplete (Need to test what Chrome implements too.)
Anyone got a demo page that doesn't use minified JS or external JS libraries? I couldn't get Chrome to do anything but return 'disabled' (when served over HTTP) or 'cancel' (when served over HTTPS).
One change to the wiki page we should consider is firing 'unsupported' instead of 'disabled' for the case of the browser not supporting the specific set of fields.
