Issue Description

Expectation

autocomplete="text" is not flagged as a violation of SC 1.3.5.

Actual

Axe Devtools flags <input class="form-text" id="term" name="term" type="text" aria-required="false" autocomplete="text" placeholder="Zoek op titel, trefwoord" value=""> as a WCAG violation.

How to Reproduce

Create a page with something like <input class="form-text" id="term" name="term" type="text" aria-required="false" autocomplete="text" value=""> (basically a generic search field) or go to Zoek een tool. Run Axe Devtools and notice that it reports the following issue: autocomplete attribute must be used correctly.

Additional context

While "text" is not among the values listed in the HTML specificiation, the field does not collect information about the user, so SC 1.3.5 is not even applicable.
