Not really it has been solved, because the grayed out text does not 
work too well. It is either unreadable or it is too similar to normal 
text. And I still does not see benefit of having such type of color.

I am mixing it for years :-) Example, current URL is https:// and I 
simply start typing (secure address or not). Luckily Konqueror (and 
most of the applications) does not use suggestion in-place. Krunner 
does and the effect (see above) is unfortunate. It would be much 
better to have "classic" suggestion list just with icons (imho). 

Cheers,
