Description
In https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#the-difference-between-the-field-type,-the-autofill-field-name,-and-the-input-modality you show an example of using <input type="tel">
combined with autocomplete=tel-national
- which seems to make sense.
Anyway, this contradicts https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#autofilling-form-controls:-the-autocomplete-attribute where all tel-*
autocomplete values are surprisingly limited to text-like inputs which does not include type="tel"
. This rule is also used by the HTML validator.
Suggestion: Change the control group for all tel-*
values to "Telephone" - which is what anybody would expect.
