Spell checker buggy with XML files... see attached screen cast.

Reassigning.
Marek, could you please take a look? Thanks.
It's a defect, and works really weird for xml. Misspelled words are underlined randomly.
The spellchecker doesn't work for me in xml files at all. In any case I am not owner of the xml modules, I think the russian guys from st. Petersburg are maintaining it.
Reassigning for further evaluation.
I suppose the spell checker feature in NetBeans is a great idea. Actually I see it the first time. But it looks like it's implemented not only for XML files and I suppose it is implemented as a centralized. So I suppose somebody who implemented the general spell checking has to look it first and at least provide us with some initial instructions. So I switched it back to editor/spellchecker. Eventually, I'm not sure we'll be able to fix it to 6.9.1 either way.
Yes, there is generic spellchecking infrastructure, but it requires support from each language. Seems that languages other than XML work fine, so it is quite likely that the problem is in the XML provider, and investigations should start there. Look for TokenList{Provider} in spellchecker.bindings.htmlxml.
The spellchecker is off by default for XML, probably just because the buggy behavior. Given the fact it is off by default, I don't think this is a 7.0 stopper.
Requesting a waiver for NetBeans 7.0.
Waiver approved.
Requesting a waiver for NetBeans 7.0.1.
Approved.
I have just played with spellchecker in a XML file after forcing enable on spell check for XML via not making it hidden in the layer file. Seems to work very well for me. So after solving #202316 or some feedback from that issue this report will most likely be fixed as well (just need to check).
After Jarda fixed 202316 and I have changed this: http://hg.netbeans.org/jet-main/rev/98935a4e037d it seems to work for me. Please verify after this change gets into a published build.
