Yes, it can be produced with fewer information ("which piece is moving?" and "is
it a capture?" are not needed).

In my software I don't need to follow the moves on a board to generate
coordinate-notation output, but I would with long SAN.

I am not saying I am against long SAN but there is a disadvantage, at least in
my programs.
