[orca-list] Subscripts and Superscripts.

[Mewtamer <mewtamer gmail com>]

Okay, this is a long standing issue that I feel kind of stupid for
never asking about before, but whenever I encounter superscripts and
subscripts on webpages, most noteably when they are used to represent
exponents and number bases, Orca treats the subscripted or
superscripted digits as normal digits. This leads to situations such
as 102 with the 2 superscripted being read as one hundred and two
instead of ten squared and 1112 with the 2 subscripted being read as
one thousand, twelve instead of one hundred eleven base two.

I don't know if there's anyway Orca could possibly tell if a digit is
sub or superscripted and adjust it's reading of numeric strings
appropriately, but I figure it couldn't hurt to ask.

I was reading:

when I was reminded of this issue, but just about any math or science
Wikipedia article involving exponents, different number bases, or
scientific notation will se examples of this.
