yeah, I think it will be fine by release (not sure about the first 
betas) it just needs to have an accessible string on the list of 
suggestions it gives (which would be the same as the visual text, but 
with HTML markup removed.
For example if you type "new" in the HUD with thunderbird focussed it 
might show options below the field for:

File > *New* > Message
File > *New* > Address book contact
File > Send *Now*

so it is bolding the word it thinks you typed, putting them in the order 
of what you most probably meant first, and is doing a bit of fuzzy 
matching to pick up "Now" being a possible typo for "New". Right now 
these can get keyboard focus by going down from the edit field, but they 
don't say anything.
