Transforming Alternate Fuel into Holding Fuel

It would be interesting to know if in other parts of the world the captain is allowed to transform, inflight, his alternate fuel into additional holding fuel.

In other words, the scenario is this: you are in the holding because of fog at destination; after a while you have to decide if you want to divert or continue to hold using the alternate fuel (thus committing yourself to landing at destination).
Are you legally allowed to do that?
