The delay child element
Release 2.0 - ...
The delay child element of the dispatch action element provides an alternate means of specifying the delay imposed on the event to be dispatched.
The event delay of the dispatch action is given by the delay attribute or the delay element. If both are given, the element takes precedence.
The delay element can provide the delay with either its string content or the value attribute. If both are given, then the value attribute takes precedence.
