Using atk would be interesting, and would provide incentive to
implement the interfaces.  However, it only solves part of the
problem.  Management of the dictionary and dialogs to handle the
corections are where the majority of the work is going to go.  It
may be a touch premature to base the spell checking on editable
fields.  There are alot of things that could use spell checking that
don't have an editable field to edit.
eg
    spell checking a region in a spreadsheet.  There
    is no single field to check.
