This has been one of my thoughts for an excellent 
language-independent Fuzzy class for ht://Dig. Of course as the 
"dictionary," you'd actually use the wordlist itself. This would have 
the dual advantages that you'd have any words not in normal 
dictionaries and the algorithm could also offer up words misspelled 
in the pages themselves. (Perish the thouhgt! [sic])

Of course this idea also got lost in the shuffle. Anyone interested 
in working on this sort of thing (as you have in a sense) would be 
doing us all a great favor.

Thanks for the script!
