I like your idea and I may well put your spell checker code to use, but I
just thought that I would pass along that Spellswell7 v2.0 has an option to
ignore words within < > brackets to allow you to spell check HTML documents
more easily. You can set BBEdit to use Spellswell rather than the builtin
spell checker of the commercial verion of BBEdit.

The combination of MacPerl, BBEdit and Spellswell is quite a nice
Perl/HTML/CGI SIDE (Semi-Integrated Development Environment)
