7.6 Spelling and grammar checking
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/editing.html#spelling-and-grammar-checking

On behalf of the i18n WG.

The spellcheck attribute currently is limited to user-edited text.

It would be useful to have some way of identifying content that should not be
spellchecked in an editor or by an automated spellchecking service. 

It would seem most intuitive to use the same attribute for this, but more
carefully distinguish between the case where the user agent is dealing with
user editable text and non-user-editable text, if necessary.  On the other
hand, perhaps a different attribute would keep the two different usages
clearer.

(Browsers should also consider the language set by the lang (or xml:lang)
attribute when choosing which content to check.  It is very useful if the
editor or service ignores content that is not in the language of the currently
set spellchecker dictionary (oXygen and XMeTaL both do this, for example).
Particularly useful for handling text containing fragments in more than one
language.)
