You've obviously never flown a 777 or a A330 then.
250 kts at 3000' at 10 DME IS A PROBLEM. ( yes the 777 is a lot better than the 330 but even it would be a handful trying to fly a 3 deg slope and slow down at the same time from 210 kts back to VRef and stabilized by 1000' )

180 kts to 5 DME IS A PROBLEM.

In my outfit we would say "negative cannot..." To such a request. We could not lose 45 kts AND be configured and spun up in only 2 nm ( by a minimum of 1000' which is 3 nm ) IMPOSSIBLE.
