 Hi,

 According to the WCAG [https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding
 /identify-input-purpose.html Success Criterion 1.3.5: Identify Input
 Purpose], the purpose of each input field collecting information about the
 user should be programmatically determined.

 So, in the comment form, we should have an autocomplete attribute for
 these fields:

 - Name: {{{autocomplete="name"}}}
 - Email: {{{autocomplete="email"}}}
 - Website: {{{autocomplete="url"}}}

 [https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#input-purposes See the documentation to
 know more about the autocomplete values.]
