Your ideas are pretty interesting (and I can think of a few situations for myself where it'd be pretty handy). This isn't quite the place for them, though. LyX is a nice graphical program, but it works by farming out all the specialized work to other established programs. In the case of spell checking, it calls out to ispell or aspell. If LyX were to implement them, it would have to take on the whole task of writing and maintaining a spell-checker program rather than the considerably smaller task of interfacing with them. So the best place to bring up your revisions is on the ispell and aspell programs (urls below). When they support the features, bring back some information on how programs interface with them, and LyX will be set for someone to write the code to use them. http://aspell.sourceforge.net/ http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/fmg-members/geoff/ispell.html
