Hi,
I modified activeselect in order to have not only select but also textfields be able to trigger updates on selects.
This involves a minor change in activeselect.module, and only a little more in activeselect.js
For now I only focused on my peculiar use of it, and some edges are probably a bit rough yet.
But if you're interested I could develop that into a proper patch for activeselect.
PS : I'm aware that this feature interferes with the name of the module itself.
Yet it is really helpful, and only pushes the idea one step further.
Considering what we have now (well, what you beautifully coded...), I think it would be a pity to stop there when other features are so close.
I guess you could envision the "active" selects as the one reacting to another widget's changes, and keep the name ? :-)

What you've developed sounds very promising: I'm imagining it's a bit of "free tagging / autocomplete meets activeselect"? In which case, it's kind of ironic, since I developed activeselect by copying the JS used for autocomplete.
Please attach and post your changes here. And don't worry about the name - it's cool, I'm sure it will work out.

I'm not forgetting this - I'm just facing a series of lethal deadlines.
Sorry for the prematured announcement, I should be able to post this in a few days...

No hurry, mate... the only deadlines for your own personal Drupal projects are those that you set yourself. Nobody's paying you to contribute code here, but nobody's pressuring you either. ;-)

Any news of this issue?

Well, I sort of forgot about this.
Guess I still have the code somewhere - was sort of hackish, IIRC.
I'll try to digg for it
