Right now typeahead is implemented in a way to grab the its data of an (un-handy) inline attribute: data-data="["comma-separated", "values"]"

It is desirable to use typeahead for a drop-down select replacement. Ideally in a way that it would use the text for selection and the possibly available 'value' as selection form data.

Berlin / Germany

Canberra / Australia

Same thing could be applied to multi-selects if twitter-bootstrap starts supporting this.
Something similar to this (http://scaffolding.cloudfoundry.com/book/edit/1 <<< see author field) would be very useful.
