The "completion sources" would be provided via completion-at-point-functions, so we already have a place for that part. We don't yet have an API for the "completion UI frontend", OTOH, so if we can agree on a good API for that part, we could restructure the minibuffer.el code around that and then add more UIs. Stefan
