This is a feature that we plan on implementing for the next release of 
orca.   I had intended to make this a user preference to be changed in 
the config UI.  I wonder, do users think that blank lines should be 
spoken by default?  Also, should this even be a preference or do users 
always want this functionality? 
thanks
