 It's not about "ends".  "Ends" have absolutely nothing to do with it. 
  
 It's about how the cameras are used and, more to the point, how they are 
 discussed.  A camera that is technically an SLR but has a fixed lens is 
 in the same category as the "ZLR" cameras with regard to how they are 
 used and discussed.  It just plain, flat-out makes no sense to include 
 them in the "SLR" group.  Almost nothing in that group will be of value 
 to the owners of those cameras.
