DME req'd on ILS (not ILS-DME) approach?

Please see my not in the SLE LOC BC RWY13 thread regarding DME on ILS's. FAA
has an initiative to standardiae ILS approaches that has the effect of making
many of the existing ILS approaches DME required where they were not before.
It happened to Providence this summer. We used to have 2 ILSs that did not
require DME and one that did. Now every approach into Providence with the
exception of the VOR 5, VOR 34 and NDB 5 approaches requires DME or IFR GPS.

Is that so unusual? The ILS into CXY used to have ADF REQUIRED on the
plate,
even though you could easily fly it without such equipment if receiving
radar vectors. (The plate now says ADF or RADAR, but was only changed
recently.)


This plate does not say "DME REQUIRED".
