I was actually thinking about setting an area of text as "do not
spellcheck". Like what happens when setting language to [none] in
openoffice. This may be useful for largeish areas of text (If I add a
latin citation just to look cool, I do not want to install a latin
dictionary, because I am not _that_ cool).

This should already work (am I wrong?)

What is missing is the feature to ignore words for _this_ document
(for example, some variable names that you would not like to put in
your personal dictionary). Also, this makes sure that, when you send
to document to someone, this someone sees the same result.

Why InsetCitation?


I think these 4 mechanisms are too much. We cannot add 4 different
concepts just for spell checking. 

Anyway, the first priority would be to overhaul the spellchecker
interface.
