Then Vim should offer you to download a missing spell file.  I can't
guess why this doesn't happen for you...

That's normal.  Spell checking only happens in areas where it makes
sense.  Quoted text is not to be edited, thus mistakes there aren't
highlighted.

Perhaps the html syntax file needs to be updated.  You can clear the
'filetype' to see all mistakes.
