Hi WebKit folks,
I'm thinking about porting Hunspell-based spellchecking code from Chromium to WebKit/WebCore.
At least in the Windows implementation (WebKit/WebKit source base), the spell checker is implemented on the client side as a delegate operation. I wrote up a few notes on the topic (http://whtconstruct.blogspot.com/2010/07/spelling.html). What would be the advantage in placing the spell checker in WebCore, as opposed to the relatively agnostic approach used via the WebKit API? Is there a performance benefit, or a means of hooking into some other part of the system not currently served by the existing spelling infrastructure? -Brent
