No, Josip, and i will try to explain why.
Suppose that admin-manuals contain informations for i386 and sparc
architectures, with slices I386 and SPARC.
With current behaviour, you can tell
-o (UNDEF+(ENnI386):admin-manuals-i386.en.html
-o (UNDEF+(SVnI386):admin-manuals-i386.sv.html
-o (UNDEF+(ENnSPARC):admin-manuals-sparc.en.html
-o (UNDEF+(SVnSPARC):admin-manuals-sparc.sv.html
If i follow your suggestion, this is not possible anymore.
