My suspicion is that certain tags (i.e. <a>) aren't going to cause a spell
checker to choke, because "a" is a valid word.  But a break tag <br /> does
- "br" is not a valid word.

Run the test file for the bug I filed on the aspell SF site through aspell
on the commandline:

aspell -a -H < spellfile

and watch it kick out errors (at least it does for me on two different
operating systems).

Then prepend ^ to each line - errors are gone for HTML tags.

Works:

Doesn't work:

And just to prove that out, add the word "mispeling" to the first entry - it
gets flagged as mispelled and suggestions are given.
