[Bug 303269]

[Era+mozilla]

> BTW: was all text entered in this thread spell checked ?  ;-)

Clearly the OP used a French spelling dictionary when originally
reporting this bug (^:

Note that the majority of the non-English sites I come across seem to
specify English as their language.  Developers are not always aware that
there is a setting that they need to change, and some tools are hard-
coded to output a template which specifies English, so that the site
owner cannot override it even if they wanted to.  Hence there needs to
be (a) a manual override for the spelling dictionary; and / or (b)
perhaps a heuristic to determine what language a page "really" is in, to
cope with the real world as well as the W3C specifications.  I suppose
(b) needs to be a separate bug report, once this one is fixed and
deployed.
