You're confusing what DWU actually means. It does indeed play a part in the setting of a story but it also entails the main characters. However, let me give you a non-Doctor Who example: There was once a collaboration between Casualty and Holby City fittingly called "Casualty @ Holby City". The majority of the episodes were set in the A&E (the setting for Casualty) but the attending medical people were from the series Holby City. If we were to place the occasional Holby City scenes to one side, let me ask you: is that a valid story from a Holby City point of view? Of course it is, because although it's not set in their usual setting, the characters still originate from their own respective time and space. Let's link this with the story Inferno. We're not using "NOTDWU" as the prefix because the Doctor and other main characters originate from the DWU. The setting here is irrelevant in categorising this story. It's a bit of a random way I went around this but that's how I see it.
