Spell check optional at the document level

I work in software development and use MyInfo as my personal knowledge base which means I frequently use "words" that are not in the dictionary such as XML tags, program functions, etc. These are too numerous and pointless to add to a dictionary. The result is a page that is FULL of red squiggles that make reading extremely difficult. It is especially bad when I paste an entire XML message or program subroutine into a document.

For people in our situation, a good feature would be to be able to turn off spell check for given documents, not for the entire program. That way when I have a page full of code, it will be much easier to read. And other pages still benefit from having spell check available.

Implicit in this is that real-time spell check is very useful and it would be detrimental to turn it off.

I too have this problem. Documents containing code are a mass of red squiggles. It would be good to be able to turn off the spell checking for individual documents but it would be even better if one could set the language to be one of the computer programming languages and get syntax highlighting for that language.

i.e. if the language were set to English you get normal spell checking, if the language were set to Java you get the java commands and variables coloured as you expect, if the language were set to Python then you get Python syntax highlighting, etc... .
