undefined> Would doing that not have opened up just as much risk to the Romulans as to the Federation?

It's possible, but I think that the Romulans would have the upper hand in knowing how to both trigger it and prevent it. It took a while for the Defiant to trigger it, and perhaps the Romulans had some foreknowledge of that. Romulans had been using cloaks of one sort or another for hundreds of years by that point, they have to have experienced this phenomenon long ago. It could even be the method which they employ for their temporal agents. Also, they have to know that the Federation has engaged in time travel both accidentally and willfully, so it's not like they're giving them a key to something they haven't already done.
