Isn't a purpose of editor? For example, both Emacs and vim iable to
perform spell check on a file.

IMHO, your suggestion is wrong: even if aspell will be called like that
it's work would be useless, because most part of document is already
processed. Then imagine that you do a syntax error in a file and run
latex with `scroll..' option... it would be annoying.

P.S. Again, IMHO, such question better to ask in first place on texhax
mailing list.
