Current text:

The duration parameter indicates the duration in ms to use for each 
character passed in the tones parameters. The duration cannot be more 
than 6000 ms or less than 70 ms. The default duration is 100 ms for each 
tone.

The interToneGap parameter indicates the gap between tones. It/must/be 
at least 50 ms. The default value is 50 ms.

So you're suggesting that 70 ms change to 40 ms, and "at least 50 ms" 
change to "at least 30 ms"?

I don't have a problem with that - I think it's risky for an app to use 
bursts so short that they are not required to be detected in some 
jurisdictions .... but that's the app's problem, not mine.
