With this model, i'd want the UA to provide instances for words which
are misspelled according to its standard dictionary but which are in
its user's custom dictionary. The web page can try to make
suggestions, but generally the UA will choose to ignore the words
because it knows that the user is happy with the current word.
This is tricky if the author's spellcheck breaks words differently
from the built-in spellcheck.
Indeed, this is tricky. But I agree with timeless, and I think that
user or UA should be able to (or by default should) ignore suggestions
from web page, if user's custom dictionary (which can be even OS-level)
can recognize the word.
Also, the website might have its own
idea of the user's custom dictionary, which might be more correct than
the browser's
Or it can be just very wrong. And also, user may have
trained browser's spellchecker to fit perfectly into his/her
habits.
(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.
Well, I guess if a web page provides spellcheck suggestions, those
suggestions are just hints which UA may or may not utilize.
