How about a general infrastructure that let's you substitute strings to 
reduce (or increase?) verbosity. We could provide a general 
low-verbosity look-up file, but users could add their own.

So the phrase "OpenOffice.org Writer" could be replaced by "Writer" or 
"O-O Writer". "Untitled1 - " could just be skipped when it occurs, etc." 
That way users can tweak their own verbosity settings in a simple file:

"OpenOffice.org Writer", "Writer"
"Untitled1 - ", ""
"Desktop window frame", "Desktop"
etc.

I think we can get quite far with a simple look-up file, but we should 
probably add some rules to stop orca from replacing "OpenOffice.org 
Writer" with "Writer" in a text body, etc.
