I've noticed the same flaws as Asger so no need to repeat them #:O)
What I've noticed more is your equation "1 document" == "1 language"
that seems not correct to me (in general). I would like to change LyX
to have multi-lingual support (maybe as a character-option, this means
just the first character of each word :) and so we would need to be
able to switch between languages as spell-checking the document.
