[spell-check-dictionary] Scope of the dictionary

[noamr]

In the explainer, the dictionary is scoped to the window.

Isn't that a bit limiting? e.g. perhaps the same window can have forms that are specific (e.g. a klingon chat widget) and other forms that are not (e.g. a site feedback form)?

Sounds to me like the dictionary should be a property of a form or DOM subtree, kind of like lang, rather than a full-document thing.

Yes, we've been considering that. We initially had it in there but then looked at the simplest of these APIs that are in use (basically the things that get called when you say "add word" or "learn word") and they just apply universally, so it was modeled after that.

OK, will be good to address that in the explainer.
