Hi, this is a minor comment regarding the SSML <break> element (http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-speech-synthesis-20021202/#S2.2.3), more specifically regarding the meaning of the attribute value "none" for the time attribute. The specification currently defines: The value "none" indicates that a normal break boundary should be used. This currently seems to make "none" a synonym of "default". Much more useful would be the possibility to explicitly forbid the occurrence of a break where the default rules of a TTS system would (erroneously) place one. I therefore suggest replacing the above sentence with: The value "none" indicates that no break boundary should occur.
