It's also worth noting that <datalist> currently seems to be conceived
as a combobox, while search suggestions deserve totally different UI.
Opera's UI is suitable to search suggestions, but WebKit's proposed UI
is inappropriate for them:

There's a little drop-down arrow you have to click to get the list,
which is unexpected for search suggestions. If a separate "suggest"
IDL attribute were added, UAs could provide different UI for that and
datalist.
