Are you intending to provide support for some/all of the existing auto-completion packages (ac, helm, company, etc), or home-roll something of your own? Just curious, as I'm still fooling around with BBDB and completion. I use helm, and recently replaced auto-complete with company-mode, which I generally like better. But helm-bbdb is unmaintained (I asked, and was told I could have it!) and while company-mode completes fine on the To header in message-mode, it seems to have somehow broken cycling on the From header. Anyhow... this is a bit off-topic, so I won't follow up to the auctex list.
