Methinks this belongs into
CSS:<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Oct/0849.html
Should the issue re-arise in the CSS groups: it seems that most of the
vendors are against exposing system dictionary identified misspelled words.
::spelling would need to have the same level of security as a:visited --
only foreground, background color would accept alteration. Anything
else would expose the data being highlighted.
