any idea as to whether auto-fill can recognize stuff like: foo[email] or email[foo] or email_foo [...]

AFAIK, the auto-fill form stuff works off previously entered field names. If a user enters their email address into a field called 'email' on one site, then another site asks for 'email', Firefox will oblige by remembering the email address(es) from previous entry.

figures, no blooming good to us then :-) makes me think of another trick to block spam/cruft/etc from form submissions (including double POSTs) ... set a hidden field to a random value that session bound and usable only once ... if the value is not present in the POST or it's not set in the session as being valid and usable then don't accept the POST ... if the POST is accepted then remove the value from the session.

Thus, if every form used 'foo[email]' then yes, it should work. But most forms use 'email', so that's what Firefox remembers.

I've always thought cake was over-rated...

cake is a metaphor. let's imagine it means 'girls' for instance ... you with me now? ;-)
