But since spell checking is only a user agent feature intended for the user (it doesn't affect the page or author in any way) and interoperability between one browser's heuristics and another is not required. Browsers should be allowed to innovate as much as they like so they can come up with the best method that suits their users. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
