+1 to recommending the use of US English spelling in Mesa docs & code. I certainly would not want to impose any heavy burdens on contributors who are accustomed to UK/AU spelling. I don't think we should block any patches because of UK/US/AU spelling, and people should feel free to not think

Just one detail to fill in: I just got a question on #dri-devel if this suggestion would place an additional burden on most developers to additionally look up every word of new documentation to see if it's US or UK English. I'm not proposing to place any additional burden on people writing docs.
