<datalist>

Developer use cases

• This seems like a useful feature when we have a set of recommendations but also we can't list all possible options as they are either ever-updating or unknown. For example: Listing colleges, companies, majors, minors, etc in a job application portal. For this use case however, it would be better: - If the dropdown appeared more like `<select>`. - The new option that the user creates actually sends some data with `value` automatically filled for `<option>`.

• I want to have a Select-like widget with a very large nunber of elements, where typing the first few letters of the element you want narrows down the list of options, so that you can choose the right one.

• Have a standard, WCGA proof, HTML based combobox with the option to enter new values, for things like labels, categories or other user defined data. The list must have options to style the look to match rest of the site.
