  • whether or not a user agent actually autofills is not relevant - what counts is the identification
  • browsers autofilling using heuristics doesn't count
  • rewrite examples to make it clear that the identification is what matters, not whether or not browsers autofill
  • the last example is already covered by the first example.

Closes #5213
