HTML autocapitalize attribute is non-standard

Project Member Reported by rbyers@chromium.org, Sep 19 2017

Issue description

In  issue 466930  we shipped support for an 'autocapitalize' attribute on HTMLInputElement and HTMLTextAreaElement, similar to what Safari on iOS supports.

The proposal is documented here: https://github.com/mounirlamouri/html-autocapitalize/blob/master/proposal.md and it's used on ~3% of page views (https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/764).  There's no formal spec or IPR assignment, which will decrease the chance of Microsoft or Mozilla implementing it.

Perhaps it's time to try to contribute a PR to the HTML spec for this?
 
Should this be an HTML bug instead? I'm happy to help foolip@ or domenic@ draft something based on my proposal. (Note that I wrote this back in the days, before the HTML spec was open to external contributions.)
Yeah, would be happy to help review any HTML spec patches here. It seems like a shoe-in, with most of the work done already, so it's just a matter of massaging into consistency with the rest of the HTML spec. Tests should also be pretty easy, as I think the only thing you can test is reflection.
