Add pronouns to autocomplete attribute

[aloisdg]

What problem are you trying to solve?

I would like to improve the autocomplete attribute by adding some things.

First I would like to add a token to the list of the autofill field names. This token is "pronouns". We could write an heuristic to get one from "sex" but this is a lot of work for a clunky and error-prone solution. Letting the user autodetermine themselves is far easier. Asking for pronouns is quite a basic nowadays. Here is some example:

Discord:

GitHub:

LinkedIn:

Codeberg:

So the spec could look like this:

Field name	Meaning	Canonical Format	Canonical Format Example	Control group
"sex"	Gender identity (e.g. Female, Fa'afafine)	Free-form text, no newlines	Male	Text
"pronouns"	Pronouns (e.g. he/him, she/her, they/them)	Free-form text, no newlines	he/him	Text

More information on Wikipedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronoun

What solutions exist today?

Mostly having a empty field for pronouns without autocomplete or a dropdown

How would you solve it?

Extend the spec

Anything else?

Nit: you suggest both "pronoun" and "pronouns" as the token it seems. It should probably be "pronouns".

You can consider WebKit an interested implementer.

Good catch! Fixed.
