I tried checking "gaol" with FrameMaker 2.1's spelling checker, and it 
accepted it.  Since I don't have the international edition, I cannot 
say whether if I could have selected US spelling and have it reject "gaol".
That's the tricky thing about English - so many things are permitted...

I also fed the spelling checker "gaal" and it offered "gaol" as one of the 
suggested substitutes...
