If we can get standard behavior and naming out of it, and some implementers
want to return
an empty range list when it's called, that's fine with me.
If all you want is styling misspelled words, then all we need is to
add a pseudo-element selector which can be styled using CSS.
textarea::misspelled-word {
background: pink;
}

I'd like to see a selector like that for the form fields [textarea] and
[input type="text"].
It would not introduce any security breaches mentioned in this thread,
if it were limited to those two fields.
I believe it was discussed on www-style in part.
I'd certainly like to see it happen: is there disagreement on this list
about such a selector existing?
