I like Dwayne's ideas and can see the benefits behind it. In Pardus[1] we have 
our spell checker Zemberek as a system service (zemberek-server) and all the 
programs (a.k.a. clients) needing spell-checking features connects to it. 
Currently clients connect to the local service only but as zemberek-server 
accepts TCP connections, remote requests are possible too.

We have a command-line interface to it (zpspell) which some clients use and  
Enchant also has zemberek-server support in CVS.

What we do in Pardus may not be directly related to Dwayne's dreams but in 
some aspect it has a same approach to the spell checking facility.
