Sorry, I should have been more clear: You can't have both dictionaries active at once.
Such a dictionary would miss many misspellings i.e. if you typed 'pro' in English, it's fine, but not in Spanish. This could be typed as 'por', which is fine in Spanish but not in English. Similarly, 'taps' and 'tapas'. The link was interesting not only for the keyboard layout, but also for their ideas (which haven't been implemented) like switching dictionaries automatically if 50% of the words in a document are misspelled. If you set up a Spanish layout and an English layout (which can be the same), switching the layout can trigger dictionary changes in many applications (evidently including openoffice - something I've not tried). Since you can switch keyboard layout using an applet in the taskbar, this becomes simple and quick, rather than navigating menus to select a new dictionary.
