 Agreed. "Reply" and "Reply to ..." may not have the same first word in
 non-English languages.

 > 2) if the theme passes a non-word value, the label could lose meaning.

 Disagree. Theme authors can already filter the whole of the comment reply
 link anyway (or the comment callback), and I guess they could also filter
 your new aria-label string on `gettext` too if they only want to change
 the "Reply to" bit. So adding it as a default would be more about
 providing a consistent customisation interface for developers than
 anything else, allowing them to perhaps reply to comment number (which
 would be unique), rather than username (which wouldn't, when there are
 comments by the same author name).
