> If a site misbehaves and users want autofill on it, they should be able to override autocomplete=off for that site.

How?

What do you imagine?

This website has turned off auto-complete, as they believe it may not work effectively for their forms.

* Turn on anyway * Leave disabled for this form

= Remember my choice for this website

With the same yellow bar at the top that they use for other issues. Tell them what the site is doing and ask whether they want to allow or block that, and whether to do that for all sites or only this one.
We don't need to imagine. Lots of sites abused autofill in order to prevent password management. That's why autocomplete=off gets stomped.
