You know what would be reeeeeaally cool? In conjunction with the "replace all" 
button have an "ask?" checkbox so each replacement would:

1) highlight the instance of this particular misspelling
2) Ask whether to change it
3) Either change it and proceed to the next, or do nothing and proceed

Here's an example where it might be helpful:

Silly me, I spelled "LyX" "lyx" in my book about open source. I didn't know it 
til in the middle of spellcheck. But I can't change all "lyx" to "LyX", 
because in a few spots I reference "myfile.lyx", which should be all small 
letters. With an "ask?" checkbox, this is no problem.

Thanks
