Details

HTML (and probably CSS/Javascript) keywords should not be highlighted by the spell-checker as orthographic errors. It creates visual distraction there is no good way to avoid (adding them to the dictionary is hackyish/wrong). This problem, of course is even more prevalent for non-English users, and happens when editing content that is meant to be rendered as html (say, code blocks in a blog post, for instance). Note: Bug 222747 seems somewhat similar but not quite the same. Adding reference here nevertheless, just in case they're related.

I believe modern Web IDEs take care of this by spellchecking for comments only. (or frequently just not spellcheck at all)
