Re: [editing-explainer] spell checking should be able to span multiple Typing Nodes (#50)

Yes, the attribute would not be so pretty. Imagine you have an entire document and want to save it to disc, likely removing this spell check information. And then load it back up and go through all the words that need the boundary and re-add the attribute. Most likely one would simply add the attribute to all elements that have a specific class or so, but it would still not be very pretty. 

The JS function would add quite some complexity for the editor developers, especially when people copy and paste stuff together and additionally add things manually. Basically one would have to go through each paste and all input and always watch out whether there is yet another one of those elements one wants to define as a sentence/word boundary.

Ideal would be something like CSS... just not CSS itself.
