Don't forget to allow contenteditable elements (<div> is most common) to
set/alter/respect this setting as well.

Common use cases include
* Recipient wells in web mail applications
* User Name / Logon forms
* Fields that tend to have unfamiliar words (names, places, addresses, etc)
* Applications that already have server side spell checking (and wish to remain
consistent across browsers / platforms)

Here's the Firefox documentation:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Controlling_spell_checking_in_HTML_forms

I'd prefer it if Safari used the spellcheck="false" attribute, since
application developers are already familiar with it and web applications
already use it. However, I'm not opposed to a private CSS property, in case
others feel it's a more appropriate solution.
