De-icing before ready to taxi has risks. On a clear cold day it would depend of the temp of the a/c skin and the remaining fuel in the wings, and the % of fuel for full wings. If you de-iced with Type 1 = no anti-ice, then the skin temp and fuel content would have an unknown effect and could only determined by inspection just before taxi. You could find you have to do it again.
