Perhaps I'm reading it too generously; it does indeed specify that the
*implementation* has to provide a unique output for each source, but
other than suggesting a particular mode of operation based on that I
don't see anything actually forbidding the *integration* from then just
munging those lines together externally, as integrators so often like to
do. That's the case I had in mind.
