SSML Tags for AI Text-to-Speech not working for milleseconds...

Hi I'm using the AI text-to-speech (Matilda) and attempting to use SSML tags to create pauses. I'm finding that when I use whole seconds in the break time tag, it works fine. but when I try 900ms, it does nothing. Here is what I have at the moment.

 <speak>This is a story about four people named Everybody, <break time="900ms"/>Somebody, <break time="900ms"/>Anybody, <break time="900ms"/>and Nobody. 
<break time="1.2s"/>
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. 
<break time="1s"/>
Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. 
<break time="1s"/>
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. 
<break time="1s"/>
Somebody got angry about that<break time="700ms"/> because it was Everybody’s job. 
<break time="1s"/>
Everybody thought Anybody could do it, <break time="900ms"/> but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. 
<break time="1s"/>
It ended up that Everybody <break time="700ms"/>blamed Somebody <break time="900ms"/> when Nobody did <break time="900ms"/> what Anybody could have done.
