Example
    <u who="LB"><shift feature="loud" new="f">Elizabeth</u>
    <u who="EB">Yes</u>
    <u who="LB"><shift feature="loud">Come and try this <pause>
         <shift feature="loud" new="ff">come on</u>

The word ``Elizabeth'' is spoken loudly, the words ``Yes'' and ``Come and try this'' with normal volume, and the words ``come on'' very loudly.
