WAI-ARIA live regions and "politeness" levels

Hi,

not sure if it's already too late to talk about this, but...one thing 
that strikes me as somewhat odd is the "politeness" levels idea for live 
regions http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/#live

The values just seem strange, compared to other more matter-of-fact 
values...almost "cute" in a way. It is too far down the line to float 
the idea of changing these to something more along the lines of:

off, informative, important, critical
