Agreed, but be careful with "as opposed to". An early section in
"Using Data Sets" makes it clear that UNIX files can be data sets.
"That's not how most people use 'data set'"? Well, they should
RTFM. I take "Using Data Sets" as the authority here.
I'm not sure what meaning "standard" conveys. Would it be
better to say "modal"?

It might be a spool file allocated by the SDSF Rexx API. That probably
doesn't count as SYSOUT even though it might have been created as
DD SYSOUT=(,) by a previous job(step).
