A thesaurus is a reasonable approach. I see a list of language
differences maintained here:
http://www.peak.org/~jeremy/dictionary/tables/spellcat.php
It wouldn't take long for you to convert that to XML. You should prob
contact him for permission. I'd be happy to check in such a thesaurus
to the site here.

Hi again,
I would like my search to automatically expand input U.S. English search
terms to another regional variety, i.e., U.K. English, which is found in
the data set. Is there an XML version out there somewhere that you
might know about? I'm marking up a thesaurus document for a documentary
edition with many British spellings, and this would save lots of time!
I'm assuming the thesaurus is the only or best way to make these
resolutions -- should a user search for "honor" it'd be nice if
documents containing "honour" were also retrieved.
Thanks,
Shannon
