Somewhat tangentially to this discussion, I'm a web developer
interesting in accessibility, not a regular Orca user. I would like to 
help with this:

Distinguish Q and BLOCKQUOTE in (X)HTML content

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405759

and

Refactor speech generators to provide ACSS per string

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412656

I can't work out whether this is something so architecturally sensitive 
that it will really need to be done by the core developers. If not, I'd 
be happy to work on this gradually in my spare time, but would like
a bit more certainty on whether the proposed solution is the one we want
to go for. The proposed solution being to "to have speech
generators return a list of [[string, acss], [string, acss], ...]
instead of [string, acss]". This is currently described as "One way to
do this", suggesting they're might be other ways. Some ideas about the
ideal user interface for defining such roles might also be helpful.
