In most cases there's no correlation. Where there is one, it's inconsistent, because authors work around the lack of autosubmit by implementing it manually; and even when they don't it's still inconsistent, with the strange dependency on the number of inputs. (Including hidden ones; because of this, enabling CSRF form tags in a framework actually changes the UI of forms.) It's an authoring question whether the form is one which is submittable, or one which is, for example, saved automatically on each change, such as some preference pages. -- Glenn Maynard
