I don't need spell checking often, but when I do I don't like to have to open
some other program just to check how a word is spelled.  I don't know about
others but I wound find a spellchecker a very useful addition.

A good idea but something that has proven to be quite difficult to put into
practice. Openoffice has long been said to be lacking such a feature but the
problems have been where exactly you can obtain or produce the required word
lists. This may be something for the future (perhaps Openoffice will finally get
its own spellchecker) but for now I don't think this is going to be implemented.

Nominating for invalid, see
http://www.mozilla.org.uk/docs/spell-checker-faq.html for a slightly humorous
explanation of why this won't be happening.
