Additional confusion exists because there exist specifications for 
short-haul physical (electrical) delivery of DS1 and DS3 signals -- 
usually for cross-connect purposes -- known as DSX-1 and DSX-3.

These specifications, while predominantly composed of general signal 
specifications, also concretely reference the electrical characteristics 
  of metallic interconnection points, so these are not entirely 
"abstract" specifications for a "different type" of DS1 signal.  Thus, 
they fail to conserve the DSn vs. (Tn, OCn, etc.) conceptual distinction 
entirely.

There also dwell, in considerably greater obscurity, standards for 
electrically cross-connecting (relatively) low-speed SONET carrier 
signals - STSX-1, STSX-3.
