Some combination of (1) proper names - even document titles - are 
frequently not dictionary words and (2) users are likely to have 
taken particular care over entering the data for such fields and not 
need the assistance of a spelling checker?

In the same way, most mail clients don't check the spelling of the 
To: header of a message, even the "real name" part. And many - even 
one well-known one - do not check the Subject: header. The spelling 
checker I use with my mail client accepts "Dave" but won't 
countenance "Barton".

I trust this helps.
