Maybe features like spellckeching, syntax highlighting and so on should be controlled via CSS?

No, spell checking is a user agent feature that should be controlled by the UA and the user. Authors should have no explicit control over it.

One can also say that authors should not have explicit control over whether hyperlinks are underlined or not.

The difference is that underlining is presentation, spell checking is not. The functionality of a link cannot be changed with CSS, likewise spell checking shouldn't either.

Besides, spell checking *is not* presentation, it is UA functionality and so it does not belong in the presentation layer.

Visual elements      <=> Presentation
Interactive elements <=> Behavior

I think these are similar relationships.

I don't understand your point here.

BTW, isn't the "cursor" CSS property about behavior?

What? How is it? It just declares the desired presentation of the cursor, what behaviour does it have?
