Maybe having the possibility to set the lang attribute to a value  
meaning "not a language" would be enough to disable spellchecking  
when the content isn't a human language. And if you want to  
explicitly tell a field to use spellcheck you'd use any valid  
language code, or the empty string which currently mean unknown  
language. Would this make sense?
