I believe it was the fact that they were part of the 10,000 Dawns series, and DWU elements crossed over into these stories, rather than the other way around. (So as they weren't entirely 100% DWU stories, like you mentioned.) I could be wrong though.

However, these stories being invalid is something I'm entirely opposed to, especially the Iris Wildthyme story, which strikes me as completely odd as the only Iris Wildthyme stories that aren't acknowledged by the wiki are charity publications (another interesting topic to say the least), and IW stories that make use of unlicensed elements, A Lady Doctor? for example.
