In certain situations I would say yes, sometimes ATC will say, for example: Maintain 6000 until established on the LOC, cross AJAAY at 2700, clear for the ILS RWY 26R. As long as you stay at 6000 until established on the LOC and cross AJAAY at 2700 you could join the GS anywhere from 2700 to 6000.
I'm just using ATL as an example, but there are many places where instead of starting down immediately when they tell me to cross a fix at a certain altitude I'll just stay up and follow the GS down as long as I meet the restriction.
