I dont think this is the point, Chris wanted to focus on.
If there would be a standarized format how to descripe form elements
it would help developers of extentions, plugins and useragents to
automatically prefill it. (Instead of just guessing if its possibly a
login-field).
There are two examples, which come in my mind:
a) to solve the problems, several screenreaders get by
"displaying" form fields. E.g. yaws form-mode.
b) to add site search engines to the browsers search bar without
the need of javascript or an index like http://mycroft.mozdev.org/
Wolfgang, I see your point. I misunderstood because of the whole
"receiving an hCard" part. I'm still not certain as to how that part
applies, but I see what you/he means in regards to standardized form
fields. That does make a lot of sense.
Cheers,
A.
