Description

Currently browsers have some downstream means of doing this, but we'd love to enable this to be testable via a web driver method like markSpellingError(Range) and be able to write web platform tests for this sort of thing.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the proposed web driver method markSpellingError(Range) and how web platform tests would exercise spelling errors and highlights. Determine the required method behavior and test coverage from the surrounding WebDriver and browser-specification context; done means the capability is defined well enough to be implemented and tested.
