I often write text in both English and Swedish. Firefox spell checking is wonderful in English, but a nuisance in Swedish. I would like for Firefox to look at the <html> tag and see if it includes lang="en" or lang="sv" or any other language, and automatically use the spell checker indicated in the lang attribute to the <html> tag.
