Given that Google Wave is opensource, and the source was available in 2009, why is the spelling checke in Writer still the same old dictionary based spell check?

My version is 3.2.1, US, and the only words it flags of the following (from a wiki page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spell_checker) is cheque and chequer:

"Eye have a spelling chequer,
It came with my Pea Sea.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss Steaks I can knot sea.

Eye strike the quays and type a whirred
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am write oar wrong
It tells me straight a weigh.

Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your shore real glad two no.
Its vary polished in its weigh.
My chequer tolled me sew.

A chequer is a bless thing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right all stiles of righting,
And aides me when eye rime.

Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The chequer pours o'er every word
Two cheque sum spelling rule."


Obviously not at all looking at the context! Does it take multiple years to implement an interface that will let someone use a better complete module? Or is this something that must be added by the user? Given that MS word 2007 has a context level spelling checker, and schools today are not training people to spell or understand context or grammer, it should be there by default!
