I can show you several hardware product descriptions that distinguish between DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD+/-R and DVD+/-RW, but which all describe different read-only devices. Just because something can read DVDs doesn't mean it can read DVD-R, so a drive is often described as being a DVD-R (unit if it can read them; it doesn't have to be a writer. Sure seems to me that there's a lack of precision there. It's rather like it was in the early days of CDs, when not all CD drives could read CD-R (or CD-RW) media.
