Summary: spellcheck default state poorly defined
Product: HTML WG
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson)

The current text in 7.6 states "The default state indicates that the element is
to act according to a default behavior, possibly based on the parent element's
own spellcheck state."
This text refers to "a default behavior". Exactly which default behavior is
that?
If it is intended to be UA implementation dependent, then it should state that.
However, that leaves things rather ambiguous. I would suggest coupling the
default state to an explicit value, e.g., 'false', or something more specific
that is currently specified "possibly based on the parent element's own
spellcheck state".
The absence of a better definition of default state reduces testability and
interoperability.
