selectBooleanCheckbox
selectManyCheckbox
selectManyListbox

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the PDL documentation and component definitions for inputTextArea, the select* components, and the form component. Compare the listed attributes with the W3C and Microsoft references, then verify that autocomplete is exposed consistently for every named component and that the corresponding documentation is updated.
