After the initial definition of the SABLE tags, through the file `Sable.v0_2.dtd', which is distributed as part of
Festival, the body is given. There are tags for identifying the language and the voice. Explicit boundary markers may

http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/sable_spec2.html, though some aspects are not currently supported in this
implementation. Further updates will be announces through the Sable mailing list.
