Curious as to the global business impact this has had. I personally have spent at least a dozen hours debugging forms and trying to disable autocomplete/autofill on my kiosk-based applications. How many development hours collectively have been wasted on this unilateral decision. I have not been this frustrated since the days of writing css for ie6, and at least back then the devs response was more "sorry its our rendering engine" and not battre just saying GFY seemingly out of disdain. I try to be as free-market as possible but I sure wish that the w3c had some teeth when it came to things like this.
