The discussion on spellcheck="" focused on two ideas; using spellcheck="" 
mostly as specced here:
   http://damowmow.com/playground/spellcheck.txt
...and doing something with lang="". The idea of using lang="" had 
problems that were pointed out by several people, most notably, the issue 
that the user's language doesn't always match the site's. I think this 
makes it inappropriate for this use.
I have added spellcheck="" to the spec.
If there's anything in the feedback that I missed, please let me know. I 
read every e-mail but there didn't seem to be anything specific that I 
should comment on.
