Eligibility for autofill

[schwering]

Request for Mozilla Position on an Emerging Web Specification

• Specification Title: Eligibility for autofill
• Specification or proposal URL (if available): Define eligibility for autofill whatwg/html#8801
• Explainer URL (if available): https://github.com/schwering/shared-autofill
• Caniuse.com URL (optional):
• Bugzilla URL (optional):
• Mozillians who can provide input (optional): serg, tgiles, dlee (from this list)

Other information

The HTML spec currently does not clarify the necessary conditions when a user agent is allowed to autofill a group of fields. We propose a solution that defines a default grouping concept, and also allows the user agent to safely fill frame-transcending forms which are common with payment forms.

Hey folks; apologies if pinging is inappropriate, but we'd love to hear your input on this proposal, so I will ping just this once :)

Hey, sorry for the late reply, give us a few days to read through the material.

I've shared concerns here whatwg/html#8801 (comment)

At the moment it feels like risk + effort < benefit
