My problem is, I don't understand your graphics. I'm not really sure
what you're meaning.

So I can just express what I was expecting to happen.

I think
[LANG_DE: Text [LANG_DE:more:] [LANG_EN:text_en:] :]             
when processed with '(ALL-LANG_*)uLANG_DE:-'

Should expand to "Text more" and drop text_en.

And when processing 
[LANG_EN: Text [LANG_DE:more:] [LANG_EN:text_en:] :]             
with the same options
to expand to "" (i.e. nothing)

That means, I expect the condition of nested slices to be logically
AND'ed - Only print the content if the condition of all nested slices
are met.

Hope I have clarified things,
    Sec
