I'm not sure what you mean by this, Sijis.  Will that description mean
we have an additional string to include?

Here are the things we absolutely need to have done today:

* Extra strings from those boxes included somewhere on the page, so
  they become part of the POT

* Merge finished to 'master'

The JS/non-JS issue appears fixed to me, awesome work you did there.
Now we need to get the POTs rolling so the L10n folks can work on them
before release.  The final CSS work can continue around that without
hurting what they're doing.
