It's not obvious to me why you cannot have the output sequence match
the input sequence, but the spec says

	You should also allow sufficient time to ensure a join occurs between
	each step of the input; for most implementations a few seconds should
	be plenty.

The purpose of this is that the output sequence matches the input
sequence.

If you do not do this, you should document that fact and why you do
not in the README.  (And you would not be meeting the spec.)
