My text begins right on one second. I believe our rule is .5 to 1.0 for beginning silence?

Anything not over one second is acceptable, and a few ticks over isn't anything to quibble with. It is just a matter of allowing a reasonable break between sections, but not so much that the listener is left wondering what's next. There is definitely some wiggle room. Same at the end where the instructions say "about five seconds."
