Perhaps this could be an option for TDs in tournaments: Show P's and RHO bids at the same time
So we don't know who is pausing.
Would it make it more awkward when calling TD for silent player, but it's usually pretty obvious to TD.
This is what happens in high level tournaments.

High level tournaments with screens?

Some recent high level tournaments with bidding on tablets.

The new high ground which WBF (rather than RAs like ACBL, kudos though they deserve) should be staking out and norming.
Along with other measures to hide tempo (at the expense of slower play, if necessary).
In the meantime, spontaneous initiatives from platforms like BBO are welcome.
