I started liking the name completed style selection after i started
using google-reader key bindings.
google-reader support 'gu' key binding to give you a frame with all
matching names. As you keep typing it will
eliminate non matching ones. That is much better than remember which
key binding is it.

One of the workflow i am looking at is to have tags based on different
things i am working on. For ex: If i am looking at
project1 i got to tag project1. i should be further classify it as
project1_reading project1_coding etc.

If the  key binding by default can pop up  frame with list of created
tags we can even remove the taglist from the wibox.
I am not sure whether awesome allows a frame like that. Something in
the line of what happens when gtksu asks for password.
ie rest of the screen gets shaded and only key focus will be on the
frame. I would encourage to try 'gu' key binding on reader to
visualize the details.
