For most writers such feature is more a bug that a helpful feature. Those annoying red underlines may break your way of thinking during writing, the same is about autocorrection. These Word feature is for people, who do not want to click "spell check my doc" every time they finish writing - there are plenty of writers who still use typewriters - they do not like to be corrected on-line.
Separation of layout from content is a good thing and one the major features of LyX/LaTeX. Separating spelling and content however does not make any sense to me.
When I'm notified immediately of a spelling error, it's easy to fix it. However, fixing it afterwards takes a lot of additional time; you often have to read the entire paragraph again to get the right context.
I would consider on-the-fly spell checking as a huge improvement. Joost
