Is there room for discussion of an API to expose misspelled ranges of text in contentEditable? This would be building upon the spelling and grammar checking section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/editing.html#spelling-and-grammar-checking A method for a contentEditable section, along the lines of getSpellcheckRanges() would allow for content editors, to stylize and provide further UI controls around spell checking. Such an API could be used to warn the user that they have possibly misspelled text, in a similar way to how word processors convey the information. It may not be feasible at the moment, but it could be worth some discussion. A Range list seems appropriate, though it would need something along the lines of getSuggestedSpelling() on each range. -Charles
