Could you enhance this feature so that the /inherited/ language gets displayed as well? For instance, if I specified "nn" on the HTML element, then, when hovering over e.g. a <p> element to see its features, the tooltip could say (xml:lang="nn") in a parenthesis to signal that the language has been herited.
It's quite simple to move to mouse to the left of the node path bar to see the attributes of the ancestors of the <p>.

But I will also point out that my feature request was related not how to regulate the spelling checker’s default behavior but to the (xml:)lang attribute. I mentioned the spelling checker just as an example of what the current behavior leads to. The issues are related but not same thing. As well, even if I had been eager to solve the problem via the spell checker, the solution is no perfect: First and foremost the method (currently) requires that a dictionary for the language you use is available in the spelling checker. If it isn’t then the spelling checker does not allow you to select it as your preferred language. By contrast, when I specify the language at root element level, spelling stops if the dictionary isn’t available. My (theoretical) issue with the spellchecker method is that it kind of works against the "mind of XML" - which is to fix it at (xml:)lang attribute level.
Yes, we understand your point. However when a feature is deemed to work sufficiently well, we are not much inclined to further improve it. (Mainly because we are a small company having limited resources.)
A really annoying problem for you could have been: where is the Norvegian dictionary for XMLmind XML Editor?
The answer is: you have contributed one for XMLmind Spell-Checker, our 100% Java, in house, engine and thank you very much for doing this! (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_usercontrib/index.shtml)
Now let's suppose a user wants a Turkish dictionary and has no time to build one for XMLmind Spell-Checker. The solution is to download and install the add-on called "Hunspell Spell Checker", which contains an alternate spell-checker. This alternate, open source, high-quality, very advanced, spell-checker is used in many office programs and almost certainly has a Turkish dictionary.
