Sounds reasonable.  BTW, what happens when you "accept a word for the
buffer" and there's a shared process for the current and another buffer?

FWIW it does but I can't test reliably.  I don't use multiple languages
with `ispell-word' because it usually complains about different
character maps.  `flyspell-mode' is a real pain on my system since it
makes my cursor crawl.  I wrote my own mode to avoid all that hassle.
