That's absolutely not correct. A DSL is not necessarily short and implicit. It can be very implicit or very explicit and the one I worked on was explicit. Its defining feature would be that it is straitjacketed.

The customers in our case did not actually look at the DSL - it was entirely internal. We decompiled the legal document into the DSL so that we could then represent the contract in more understandable ways.
