Ah yes - if in doubt, just extend the standards. 

If I remember correctly, the XHTML spec says that boolean attributes
can essentially only be "turned on", and that all attributes must have a
value - in the case of booleans, the value should be the attribute
name (so, for strict XHTML, you have things like nowrap="nowrap"). To
fit in with the standards, the attribute would need a name like
"noautocomplete". I'm not convinced it's even the mark-up author's
problem to knobble insane autocompletion.
