[webkit-dev] Spellcheck API for WebKit

[Hironori Bono (坊野 博典)]

Greetings Simon,

Apologies for my stupid change in advance.
My change just tried to straightforwardly implement a suggestion
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2011AprJun/0545.html>
without deep consideration about WebKit manners noted by your e-mail.

Unfortunately, I have just copied and pasted my code in
HTMLTextAreaElement to support contenteditable elements and designMode
ones because I did not have better ideas at that time. I should have
asked about it in this ML before landing this change.

This is totally my fault. (The sin of ignorance.) Sorry again for that.

By the way, I wonder how I should treat my r88332 even though I
understand this change was wrong. Even though there are several
options: 1. re-design the API, 2. revert my r88332 and re-implement
it, 3. send changes that apply these comments, etc. Would it be
possible to give me your advice?
