In terms of implementing the raw spec in FF3, this is nearing
completion. Apart from everything else, like unit tests and ARIA and
demos and documentation, the one missing feature is the autofill
behaviour while moving the focus via cursor keys: "whenever an item
gets focus, its result-value is inserted into the textfield; when the
focus goes back to the input, the original input value is restored".
I've edited the planning page, its now in a readable state again:

Most notable:
- the data model doesn't need the id-property
- the highlight option is gone: its easy to implement it using the
source option when its actually required, as for the
select-autocomplete; its mostly useless when the suggestions are
filtered
- all the datasource example code is gone, instead the source option
is properly specified and the four existing visual tests cover most of
it
In terms of demos, this one gives a good feel of how the widget could
look like with a realworld database:

As mentioned previously, I'd appreciate help with the styles.
