>>Have you tried implementing that as another mixin, say NiceAutcomplete, subclassing from Autocomplete?
I considered that approach, however it seemed that I would need to modify the autocomplete javascript in order to insert an element to contain the greyed out text, which would then pose even more challenges with regard to making sure it was all visually consistent when designers start adding CSS. I'm doing my best to avoid re-writing the jQuery stuff, that's why I took the approach of stacking text fields and wiring it together. However this is proving to be yet another challenge as far as making it all behave exactly the way it should.
