This is tricky if the author's spellcheck breaks words differently
from the built-in spellcheck.  Also, the website might have its own
idea of the user's custom dictionary, which might be more correct than
the browser's (like if all Google sites tracked a custom dictionary
for you and you were using someone else's computer).  And the author's
spellcheck might actually be flagging a grammar error, or using
context-sensitive info to figure out that even though a particular
word is fine in general it's a mistake here.

So I'd be hesitant to say anything like this.
