I've not seen this in any other GNOME GUI. I understand Windows Vista is
going to use it in a big way though.

I suggest we take the approach we've used before, of just doing 
something in
the specific script (planner.py in this case), until we come across 
another instance
of it. Then we can generalize it and move it up to default.py.

As Will pointed out, we should be focused on the higher priority items that
we still need to do (like proper keyboard echo), so once you have the phrase
you'd like spoken/brailled there, I'd like to just work with one of the Orca
community members (Javier maybe?), to generate a change to make this work.
I'll then be happy to check it over and commit it when it's looking good.

Thanks.
