I don't think the actual example is that complicated, seeing as it's pretty much a syntactic copy of <meta name="keywords">. All you'd really have to do is take the words it contains and temporarily append them to the UA spell checking (or autocomplete) dictionary. Also, upon further thought, setting vocabulary for specific controls shouldn't be hard either: In the <head>: | <meta name="vocabulary" lang="en-us" id="textarea1" | content="HTML5, WHATWG, WF2, WA1, WD1, CSS3-UI, TARDIS, ZPM, DHD"> | | <meta name="vocabulary" lang="en-us" id="email" | content="Ian Hickson, Alexey Feldgendler, Lachlan Hunt"> In the <body>: | <p><label>To: <input type="text" name="to" vocab="email"></label></p> | <textarea name="message" vocab="textarea1"></textarea> I'm probably missing something obvious, but there it is.
