What specific section or headline is this issue about?

This documentation says that we can use "nickname" as the value of the "autocomplete" attribute in HTML inputs.

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

This documentation states that "nickname" can be used as a value for the autocomplete attribute in HTML input fields. However, when I try the following code:

<input type="text" autocomplete="nickname">

Google Chrome's developer console displays an error, indicating that this autocomplete value is invalid.

I expected this value to work without triggering an issue.
