Research direction

Start by running the MAUI sample on Windows, opening the Semantics page, enabling Narrator, and tabbing to the timepicker controls. Compare the timepicker behavior with the datepicker, which reportedly no longer has the problem. Done means the timepicker's semantic description is read aloud only once.
