I don't recall seeing the following answer: XMLmind (xmlmind.com), which is a semi-wysiwig DocBook 
(and DITA) editor has a built-in spell checker.  It defaults to English, but other languages can be 
selected.  There is an option in a config file to skip certain elements (like program listings, I 
suppose; I haven't tried it).  There is no grammar checker, but then I've never seen a grammar 
checker that I would consider worth using.

Disclaimer: we use XMLmind a lot, and are happy with it.
