Autocomplete field name needs an appropriate control group (#73f2c2)

[ajanec01]

I've just noticed that the autocomplete attribute has valid value rule does not mention that the autocomplete field name needs an appropriate control group, i.e. Field name: "bday-day" needs "numeric" control group.

Do you think it's worth adding a note?

If I understand what you're suggesting, this should be covered by expectation 3. Can you clarify maybe why you think it may not be, or why it may not be clear enough?

The suggestion is to re-word the definition of appropriate autocomplete field to say that each autocomplete field name is applicable to input elements with a limited number of states.

As it stands, the definition goes: "The field name listed in the autocomplete fields table from the HTML 5.2 specification is used in the autocomplete attribute of an element: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#inappropriate-for-the-control"

The way I read it is: The field name from the table is used in the autocomplete attribute.

Maybe it's only me but I think the definition could go: "The field name listed in the autocomplete fields table from the HTML 5.2 specification (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#inappropriate-for-the-control) is appropriate if the form control it applies to belongs to the specified control group".

I know that the examples cover it, I just don't think it is that clear.

Sounds good to me. Would you like to put together a pull request?
