Default Logic Question

Jim Thompson wrote:

An XOR is a convenient structure to allow a control signal to invert
or non-invert another signal.

Trouble is (as classically done) inverting has 3 stage delays, while
non-inverting has only 2.

Anyone know of a configuration that has symmetric delays?

Thanks!

(I'm rolling my own at the device level so anything goes :-)

Do the delays have to be symmetrical? In other words, if we give you an A
XOR B where A is the signal and has 3 stage delays regardless of B state,
will B ever be used as the signal (requiring 3 stage delays for either A
state?
