[mary-users] SSML or SABLE break element not working correctly

[Ingmar Steiner]

Dear Saurav,

I think the problem isn't actually with the SSML not passing through the 
boundary duration attribute, but downstream, with the boundary not being 
realized as requested.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to debug this further at the moment...

Best wishes,

-Ingmar
