When Did Lo-co Become Scheduled?

I am getting a little confused that Lo-co operations are now being advertised as Scheduled services. Apart from operating on a regular basis (some of the time) the similarity stops, surely. One cannot inter-line with a lo-co, the baggage allowance is much lower, the on-plane services are usually nil.
If this is to be considered correct then, argueably, charter flights could claim to be 'scheduled' as they are now also selling 'seat only' space on their aircraft to increase the load factors, it is just that the scheduled service only operates for 3/4 months of the year, but to a schedule -a pre-timed slot of arrival and departure.
