Brent is the guy in charge of callbacks and such in Manila. He's busy working on another feature right now, but we'll add it to the hopper.

Re what the xml-rpc call should return. Probably something like this. A list of locations in the text that contain words that are flagged by the spell engine. The location is indicated by a 1-based offset into the text. Along with each location, include a list of words that might be the correct spelling. Then it's up to the UI to decide how to present the options. It would work equally well for a web app like Manila or a desktop app like Pike.

How does that sound?
