Unnecessary autocomplete support item (#2284)
Noticed this one reviewing our support items. This looks like it might have been added by some misunderstanding on our part, not something that was a problem in browsers. The issue here related to form elements with autocomplete=off, but as far as I can tell that does not result in `elm.autocomplete === ''` when the autocomplete is otherwise set.

- While `autocomplete` is a promising technique for supporting personalization in HTML, support for this in assistive technologies is fairly limited.

- Implementation of [Presentational Roles Conflict Resolution][] varies from one browser or assistive technology to another. Depending on this, some elements can have a [semantic role][] of `none` and fail this rule with some technology but users of other technologies would not experience any accessibility issue.

- In some user agents, querying the value of the `autocomplete` property returns an empty string ("") even when the attribute was set according to the rule's expectations. It affects assistive technologies which rely on this property to personalize input fields collecting information about the user.

- Authors may assign inappropriate `autocomplete` attribute values. Moreover, HTML specifications restrict certain `autocomplete` attribute values to specific form controls. Mismatches between `autocomplete` attribute values and form control types may or may not lead to a failure of [success criterion 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#identify-input-purpose). However, this rule focuses exclusively on validating valid `autocomplete` attribute values, disregarding their contextual appropriateness.
