Weird is an euphemism here. It's totally incomprehensible change.

My wild guess it's targeting voice commanding, which I practically never use as voice recognition is still not reliable enough (and I'm not always comfortable with shouting at my phone in public).

The "ok" prefix is the one that Glass uses. I wonder if there's some implied integration there. That the feature is hidden from the UI makes me think this was supposed to not be in use until Glass is out, until someone internally kicked off and said "WHAT DO YOU MEAN OFFLINE MAPS WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL GLASS IS OUT?!"
