New issue 23550 by [email protected]: clean up grd files and some GRIT  
issues
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23550

The IDS_* value has no meaning when things go the the TC.

The desc=* goes to the TC as something readable, but it doesn't go into
the hashed id that TC uses.

we have a bunch of strings that all have the same value (eg- Close), but
different IDS_ and desc= values, so the intent was there to provide a
"context" so things could be translated differently as needed.  But the  
truth
is they end up hashing as a single value on the TC, so we only support one
value (and who know which description goes with it).

This bug serves to capture this, and hopefully hang future clean up bugs
off off.  Things we should look at doing as tasks after this release:
- Collapse the number of "Close", "Cancel", "OK", strings down to have
common ones and only provide new ones where really needed.
- See about making GRIT catch/report when it's collapsing strings because
odds are it's not what was intended.
