I'm not convinced that would cure the problem.  Yes, it would correct for pulses
that weren't a perfect 1:1 mark-space ratio, but assuming the shape is constant,
surely that isn't a problem?  However, when a +/- 50ns step was inserted, surely
the effect of that would at best be halved by dividing the 100Hz by two?
