Clarification for SC 1.3.5 - Identify Input Purpose about control groups

[giacomo-petri]

ACT rules discussion: act-rules/act-rules.github.io#1967

Question: summarizing, is the intent of 1.3.5 to also check if the autocomplete value is allowed for the specific input type/control group or just to check if the autocomplete value reflects the input purpose?

Frequent scenarios of autocomplete attribute values that do not match their control group are:

• autocomplete="bday-day" with type="tel" (especially related to mobile experience)
• autocomplete="street-address" with type="text"

Are they passing or failing 1.3.5?

coming in cold on the topic, I'd say that no, 1.3.5 is not concerned with the specific/appropriate input or control type itself. that's likely more a 4.1.2?

Is my comment a sufficient answer?
