Generally, that's true. But since spell checking is only a user agent
feature intended for the user (it doesn't affect the page or author in
any way) and interoperability between one browser's heuristics and
another is not required. Browsers should be allowed to innovate as much
as they like so they can come up with the best method that suits their
users.
Once again, a CSS/XBL based approach would be better here. Unless
something is specified explicitly, the user agent can implement any kind
of logic in its default rules.
