Luke, great work.
I would wish to also contribute some thing if I could to make this better.
Infact I am still waiting for the further sections on Orca scripting 
manual, although I think this was more of a unity issue.
Another thing I find rather irritating is the fact that Orca some times 
fails to read items in the top panel menu bar.
For example if I am on the system menu, and if I press down arrow 
constantly, only few items are announced.
For instance I don't get any output when I am over down or even system 
settings.
I have made myself count the number of down arrow hits till I come to 
what ever I want so I don't have a serious issue.
But these things seem to be very irritating for a new user when some 
times top menu items are announced properly while some times not.
Any response?

Perhaps you are correct.
Happy hacking.
