Subject: [PATCH] Autocomplete: Delay option just delays request, doesn't clear
 existing timeout, therefore not preventing unncessary requests. Calling
 abort() on existing requests has no effect for JSONP, but even then its
 unncessary to start a request if the user is still typing. Works fine in
 1-8-stable.
