Summary: Browsers use customizable dictionaries to correct
spelling and tend to mark some names as wrong, that it
shouldn't. Maybe each website can inform the browser
of words/names it expects to be used and add it (in
the scope of that page) to the exceptions. If

and add it (in the scope of that page) to the exceptions.
If you can respond; has this been suggested?

How would you propose such a thing, using a datalist linked to the textfield?
What happens if the user isnt in the same language? should the word list just
be for names? Can imagine it may be useful for a code editor to validate
keywords, but then the javascript route is more common.

Status: Partially Accepted
Change Description: none yet
Rationale: Providing a custom site-specific dictionary is an interesting idea.
I'm marking this bug LATER for now since we're waiting for browsers to catch up
with implementing the features we've already added before adding more, but
we'll revisit this at some point when looking at the various spell checking
feature requests we've received.
