Auto Complete Please

It would be nice to have an auto complete function for XHTML, CSS, JAVA, etc...

A lot of high end WYSIWYG editors have these, but I refuse to mess with all the cluter that can be generated in the source.

It would be nice to start typing a tag, and a drop down menu appears to help select a possible tag. Then when your done typing the tag, the end tag also appears automatically.

When working with CSS, to have all possible values to pop down as you type.

This would make TextPad more functional then ever, and I would have no need to use any of the other larger programs that do this but also with other generated code with it.

Could this be another XML file that has a list of the possible auto-completes etc....

Maybe it could be implemented as automatically calling an external tool, with the current (incomplete) word as argument, after X seconds (Or at a key-combination).

Then again - this might be a rather inefficient solution.
