Description

The docs mention that we do not currently take the disabled HTML attribute into account.

However, I just found a scenario where the submit button is disabled by default, and enabled through JavaScript once the search input field is non-empty. I wonder if disabled support may be counterproductive, or if implemented, if it should maybe be off by default.

Research direction

Start with the documentation passage about the unsupported disabled HTML attribute and reproduce the described form: a submit button disabled initially and enabled by JavaScript when the search field is non-empty. The issue names no source file or test; done requires an agreed policy for disabled controls and corresponding documentation or implementation work.
