 Hi, I'm not certain which version of the [http://bassistance.de/jquery-
 plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/ bassistance] autocomplete is currently
 in trunk (wp-includes/js/jquery), but I was wondering if there were plans
 to port to the version of autocomplete being added to jQuery UI 1.8 (now
 in RC2). UI 1.8 should be finished any day now and I imagine it'd be
 better to use that [http://code.google.com/p/jquery-
 ui/source/browse/tags/1.8rc2/ui/jquery.ui.autocomplete.js stable build]
 than a jQuery plugin (as stable as it is). It looks like joern zaefferer
 contributed to the version in jQuery UI, so I'm sure it's as good if not
 better.

 Also, it seems with the autocomplete now added to trunk that there are two
 different ones (suggest.js and autocomplete.js). Will the tag suggestion
 be ported to use the newer autocomplete?

 Thanks!
