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.
Enabling or disabling spell checking doesn't change the functionality
of an input. It can still be used to submit arbitrary text to the
server. But misspelled words in an input with spellchecking enabled are
underlined with a wavy red line (and the underlining style could even
be changed by CSS), and that's presentation.
And providing alternate suggestions, synonyms et cetera is too? Having
some kind of "semantic sheets" would be cool I guess for these kind of
things...
I'd say "behavior sheets", not "semantic sheets".
I guess it looks like it would fit in CSS because the functionality is
not strictly needed, but I'm unsure if it's really just presentation...
Ok, it's not just presentation. It's about behavior, too. But I don't
think that it's wrong to use CSS for behavior. In fact, IE already does
so, and I think it's one of IE's strengths.
