I suppose some may suggest that.
Agreed about the 0.5nm apart if you ignore the fact that the intersection is approximately 1.4nm from the threshold of 34 and 0.6nm from threshold of 27. So you gain about another 0.8nm. The one on final 27 goes around first so is accelerating and then the 34 guy is turned right slightly due wake turbulence to pass behind the other one. If he turned him left slightly he was going to have problems but he didn't.
From the information we have available there isn't anything to cover up. If you don't trust ATC to visually separate you then I guess you can ask for a 3nm radar standard at all times.
