Feedback request for jQuery UI autocomplete accessibiliting

Good afternoon,

I'm looking for feedback on accessibility improvements to the jQuery UI autocomplete widget. In particular there are two demos that need review. Below are the links to the demos and known bugs.

1. Default
http://view.jqueryui.com/autocomplete-aria/demos/autocomplete/default.html

Pressing the down arrow to select from the list of suggestions reads the name of each selection twice.

2. Multiple
http://view.jqueryui.com/autocomplete-aria/demos/autocomplete/multiple.html

After the autocomplete popup message pressing the down arrow once seems to go to the second element in the popup list. Also, pressing enter on an element doesn't always select it.


Thanks in advance,
