I've been testing the patch and have a few comments. 

1. The prompt for the completing-read on line 440 is missing a space. It
   shows "Type:" rather than "Type: ".

2. In addition, since the symbols in org-bibtex-types are keywords, the
   completions are in the form ":article", ":book", etc. Might I ask why
   everything is org-bibtex-type is a keyword? Could we use strings or
   plain symbols instead? (Note: I haven't read the code carefully
   enough to see if there is a reason.)

3. The tooltip/help pop-up for org-bibtex-create takes up half a frame.

Thanks,
Matt
