The perennial error has returned. Unable to update an existing bit of text (to speech) because of the error. I did close Storyline, log out, and then log back in and restart it. Nope.

OK, this is very bad and something you folks should fix yesterday.
The error appears only if the text to be turned to audio contains SSML tags.
My guess is now: at least one SSML tag is invalid or unsupported, and also Storyline gives a useless and incorrect error message when that happens. I'm attaching the text (none of it is a trade secret or anything) including tags, in case that will help with debugging.
As a former software dev and also software designer and product manager, let me further say: error messages should help the end-user. If there's (for instance, totally randomly selected) an unsupported SSML tag, the correct error message would be
"SSML tag incorrect or not supported by Storyline: " + $SSMLTAG.
