I have a question about Operating System and Application etiquette for
lack of a better term. Should an application override the operating
system's built-in menus?

Specifically I want to reference the Control-click contextual menus
giving access to spell check. In Writely, and now Blogger, the Mac OS
contextual menus are overridden with the web application's menus. This
means I have no access to the built-in spell check in Tiger (or
Panther). This is extremely annoying. Writely has its own spell check,
but I peferr using the Mac OS spell check since it makes spell
checking standard across all applications for me if I wish.

I used the Mac OS spell checker for this email, thanks to Camino
making the operating system's  spell check available. Writely takes
that away.

Who's bug is this, Camino's, or Writely's? Is it a bug at all?  Is
there a way to override Writely's actions?
