Excellent work Dr Sammy D! This is exactly what I needed!

@ehartford: Take a look at this: http://jsfiddle.net/fm19zxj8/25/

@DrSammyD
I'm not sure if you are working on this still or not but I ran into an issue which I think would be easy to solve (for you).

The call to $(element).selectize({ ... });' is only made in theselectizeOptions` bindingHandler, which cannot be used if the options are hard-coded into the html. It might be a good idea to check if the element has been initialized and if not, go ahead and do so in each bindingHandler. Thoughts?

Hi @DrSammyD,
I've a simple question: how can I pre-select an option if I use optionValue and OptionText?
In this fiddle I try to get it but without results: http://jsfiddle.net/bqgd81jz/1/ . If you notice the value observable is initialized with 3.

Thanks in advance.
Daniele

@DrSammyD do you see a possibility to hand over selectize constructor options? For example plugins or render: {option: ...} would be very handy and it feels weird to put them in the code directly.

Hey @krnlde looks at my gist https://gist.github.com/lelelic/114a286649438b6ef365. I've added the option "selectizeSettings" where you can specify all the options of selectize constructor.
For example:
<select name="sel1" class="form-control" data-bind='selectize: values, selectizeOptions: myValues, optionsText: "Description", optionsValue: "Id", selectizeSettings: {onDelete: function() { return false }}'></select>
