It would not be an enhancement, as this would not give new functionality but cripple the existing one. Also, the ability to use all XML syntax is extremely important to me (I use POS tags and regular expressions), so I wouldn't make use of the multi-word spell checker anyway. So we'd have to introduce a crippled syntax that would look a little bit different for a human being but with no meaningful functional change. I don't think it's worth our time. The spell checker is best for checking individual words. Just like a hammer, it's good for nails, and not for screws. For screws, we have a screwdriver. For multi-word entities, we have more refined tools, like tagging and disambiguation and special attributes.
