I'm worried about privacy risks.

Some devices have a tendency to learn passwords as typed words, other
private terms get added to known words. If a web page has the ability
to talk to the spell checker, it could send it a stream of things
which aren't in a standard dictionary to determine if they are in the
user's custom dictionary.
