These properties specify a pause to be observed before (or after) speaking an
element’s content. Values have the following meanings:
Expresses the pause in absolute time units (seconds and milliseconds).
Refers to the inverse of the value of the ’speech-rate’ property. For example,
if the speech-rate is 120 words per minute (i.e., a word takes half a second,
or 500ms) then a ’pause-before’ of 100% means a pause of 500 ms and a
’pause-before’ of 20% means 100ms.
The pause is inserted between the element’s content and any ’cue-before’ or
’cue-after’ content.
Authors should use relative units to create more robust style sheets in the face
of large changes in speech-rate.
’pause’

The ’pause’ property is a shorthand for setting ’pause-before’ and ’pause-after’.
If two values are given, the first value is ’pause-before’ and the second is
’pause-after’. If only one value is given, it applies to both properties.
Example(s):
H1 { pause: 20ms } /* pause-before: 20ms; pause-after: 20ms */
H2 { pause: 30ms 40ms } /* pause-before: 30ms; pause-after: 40ms */
H3 { pause-after: 10ms } /* pause-before: ?; pause-after: 10ms */
