jquery plugins tags autosuggest

I'm searching for a jQuery plugin with following functionality:

  1. It should display an input box, in which tags would be put in like so: 'bees, beads, beards'.
  2. When a user is typing a tag, it should display an autosuggest box for the user's input.
  3. The display should be plain and simple: just plain-text comma-separated tags.
  4. It should allow tags containing spacebar (e.g. 'funny cats').
  5. Comma symbol should be used for separation, not keystroke for ',', because some non-English keyboard layouts have commas assigned to other keys.

Is there such a plugin and if so, where can I find it?

There is Chosen, which pretty much does everything you want.

Check out the "Multiple Select" feature on their site.
