So we've started doing that. The post pages have been fixed, but it will take us a little time to get every input field on the site -- we'll just be doing these as we find them. That means there's going to be a period where you may find some pages that allow auto-complete on their input boxes, and others that don't.

If anyone finds one that does, feel free to report it here so that we can keep track of it.
