No, it is not so trivial. I've tried the command you wrote before 
sending previous post. Here is result:

$ svn up DOCS/xml/en/codecs.xml -r 19687
At revision 19687.

My current revision is 20001 and svn won't "update" to the older 
revision.

This argument can't be used properly, because svn wan't downgrade.
