Non registered outputs in PCIX Mode?




Does the PCIX (mode 1 or mode 2) require all the outputs MUST BE generated of a flip-flop?  That is NO additional logic gates after the flip flop and the chip pin except  the boundary scan mux and the I/O driver?  Or is it a recommendation to meet the tight timings (Tval(max) = 3.8ns for 133MHz) on the outputs?

Does it really matter if the output is generated of a flip-flop or combinational logic if the timings are met for the PCIX mode?
