> Fix the standard

The standard is that autocomplete attribute can be used to hint to the user-agent how to apply any autocomplete functionality it has.

The standard is not that the UA must provide autocompletion when it is "on", or must not do so when it is "off".

So, I don't see any problem with the standard and Chrome's behavior.

Actually, the standard says that "on" is a MAY, but "off" is a SHOULD.
Yes, and neither is a MUST.
SHOULD is not SHALL.
