The SPO is word oriented, but a 'chunk' can also certainly be a whole
sentance.  It depends on what makes sence for the underlying TTS engine,
which is why I do not define 'index' as a representation of or use for
setting every absolute binary offset; just those offsets that represent each
descreat chunk of text the TTS processes as a single 'phrase'.  If the TTS
operates on whole sentances, than the index will increment to the start of
each sentance.
