We show that the usual picture of supersoft X-ray binary evolution as driven
by conservative thermal-timescale mass transfer cannot explain the short
orbital periods of RX J0537.7-7034 (3.5 hr) and 1E 0035.4-7230 (4.1 hr).
Non-conservative evolution may produce such periods, but requires very
significant mass loss, and is highly constrained.
