Hi, I love this plugin, but three things are missing, two of them make it in very much situations impossible to use this great plugin.

The one feature that would be a great bonus, is to load the items from remote source, but there is already an issue with this request.

But the two thinks that made it for me impossible to use are:

1. The design, for me the design is very nice but if you have a corporate design, what most professional sites have, than I can't use chosen or have to edit the css for every project. So my suggest is, to use, or to spend chosen an option to use the jQuery UI style, because, this fits in every design for my sites, because I choose the jQuery UI theme active for my project.

2. Then the next thing is, I need a maximum number of selected entries to be shown (5 for example), and if this maximum is reached the text "6 entries are selected" appears in the textbox only (Where the 6 is the dynamic number of selected entries).
This is because, very often my design is not that flexible to let the textbox go bigger and bigger and multiple lines, and I personaly don't like if the design is "jumping".

I hope you will implement this features to your plugin, than I will use it everywhere!

Best regards
