For core there is the guideline no function should be usable only with javasript enabled.

All pages should be perfectly functional without scripts. JavaScript provides alternatives or supplements - not replacements - for standard elements.

Of cause here in contrib that rule doesn't count but it would be nice if the module would be improved to make forms work w/o js. See attachment for an example (taxonomy, n entries, chrome).

Hi, @s.Daniel - that guideline is very interesting because core Autocomplete does not work without JS enabled! (From the standpoint of showing matching terms.)

What you're seeing in the screenshot you provided is part of what JS hides, true, but those quotes are used by Autocomplete Deluxe to recognize terms with embedded whitespace and not an error - you can actually use Autocomplete Deluxe without JS if you follow the syntax for defining new terms!

Given the above, I'm going to close this as "won't fix" - feel free to discuss here, though!
