DS90LVRA2: 3.3V -> 1.8V translation over LVDS

Part Number: DS90LVRA2
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN65LVDS9638,

source is 3.3V single-ended, while
target is 1.8V single-ended.

One solution to use LVDS is to shift down after LVDS receiver like in:
      www.ti.com/.../snla307

Would it be possible to eliminate the level shifter, and just use a 3.3V source but 1.8V target? eg:

                   3.3V                    1.8V
3.3V source -> SN65LVDS9638 -> (LVDS) -> DS90LVRA2 -> 1.8V target
