There are still parts of the spec which are unclear, but it doesn't appear
to have any requirements like that.
It does say that outgoing frames must be generated in-phase with incoming
ones, but that's not a response requirement -- only a synchronization one.
They don't list any hard limits on latency, perhaps they should.
