This has been answered many times before, but since it keeps coming up: Because no one has contributed one. The one in Netscape 6 is licensed from a 3rd party who does not wish to make their code public--Netscape cannot contribute that code. Netscape engineers are swamped with more than enough other work to ever justify spending time creating a duplicate of something we've already got, so I wouldn't ever expect open spelling checker code from Netscape. There's a nice pluggable interface just sitting there waiting for someone looking to contribute a chunk of code that will be much appeciated. -Dan Veditz
