I don't think so.

Adhering to a standard is not just a fancy thing but neccassery. It is 
the foundation for supporting older browsers, other devices and give 
disabled people the possibility to use TYPO3.

We should stick to the standards wehre ever it is possible. I would 
suggest to set the attribute by JS setAttribute("autocomplete", "off") 
as long as w3c does not support autocomplete.
