All-clear (was Re: Orca: Heads up re strings for spoken presentation of MathML content)

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi all.

Consensus-reaching is, alas, a slow process. But at the moment, Orca is
speaking more or less what other screen readers speak when presenting
MathML content. Because I do not anticipate this presentation changing
much (if at all) between now and string freeze, I have removed the
warnings I was shouting at you. :) Please consider these strings finalized.

Thanks!!
