If I may suggest, instead write it like this:

    Pause for NUMBER seconds, where NUMBER is an integer or floating-point.

Then the sentence "NUMBER need not be an integer" can be removed. Of
course the info manual shows more details, but I think that note in
the man page will do. Let me know if you'd rather that I write and
submit a patch myself instead.
