Dead Stick Landings 320

Lot of Pilots aim to bring the aircraft on approach, all the way to 700/800 Radio altimeter with engine on IDLE. Talking to a TRE on Airbus, i was told this practice of engines IDLE all the way down to 700/800 R.A. is absolutely wrong and this can result into a dead stick landing.
With approach idle concept, does it make any difference, even if the engines are at idle all the way down? From airmanship point of view, i would like to have my engines spooled around 1000 ft, incase of a go-around. Does Airbus has any official note on this?
