The problem is that we don't think autocomplete="off" is used judiciously.
Could you make a compromise and respect autocomplete="off" for only type="text", and ignore autocomplete="off" for all other input types as you guys planned? And then look at how the web reacts to autocomplete="off" being ignored for the other types before deciding on how to handle it for type="text"?
I know you can risk end up with bad web designers making all inputs of type="text" instead of using the proper types like a good web designer would (or should). But for the end user that would be better than textarea "hacks" or other weird things to "clear" or ignore things or fully custom inputs.
If the results (I'll assume the web will be watched to see how the reaction is to such changes right?) are positive and web designers actually do it correctly and do not try to hack or change the type of inputs to text en masse, then type="text" would work fine forward as a input type for text that changes so frequently that any autofill or autocomplete would make no sense/be a waste of resources.
