Re: [editing-explainer] How can sites access browser spellchecking? (#36)

If the page is too complex for web browsers to get text from, then we should simply provide API for websites to tell us which parts of the text could be spellchecked.  In fact, we already a simple version of that: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/interaction.html#attr-spellcheck

If there are domain specific corrections to be applied or that some words should be considered spelled correctly, then that information should be communicated back to the Web browser so that it could be combined with the rest of correction candidates.
