Would they? ISTR that the Oyster-checking devices used by DLR can
only give a red or green light and don't have any other sort of
display. That being the case, all they can determine is that you've
touched in validly.

(It's notable that the Dutch Strippenkaart specifically allows return
journeys completed within an hour (in practice up to 1h15) from
stamping. Perhaps it would be easier for Oyster to allow it as so few
people are likely to take advantage?)
