Diavolo progress

Autocompletion in Diavolo, my source code editor, is almost done. It's as usual defined in an XML grammar, and it's smart enough so it can depend on the value of a previous token. Arrow and page keys allow to navigate in the popup, tab key or click selects the current option, escape closes the popup. See by yourself:

I love it!
It's a bit slow on average/large files though. Understandable, but maybe it should run the coloring on a different thread or at least 500ms after the last keystroke.
I would like to hack on diavolo to get it working as remote-xul. Would you consider this to be possible? Until so far I couldn't make sense of the error messages thrown at me, but I do know it's not working due to "security" constraints in remote xul.
