a language being a DPL doesn't preclude it from being a DSL

I’m not certain that is true.

With a DPL, you describe what output you want without describing how to produce the output.

With a DSL, you have to describe how to produce the output.

    No, there is no requirement that a DSL be imperative rather than declarative.
