Default KPAE ILS...Now Requires DME...Why?

Looks like you need DME to identify the FAF if you're flying LOC

There's a marker beacon there.

Yeah, that's what's got me wondering -- there is a marker beacon, so
why the DME requirement? This approach didn't require DME when the
RITTS compass locator was there (I guess it's been or being
decommissioned). AIM 1-1-9 doesn't say that an ILS has to have both a
marker beacon AND DME or a compass locator.
