topdrop,

DME Arrivals are used regularly in Oz.
I should have clarified. I meant that "descend to XXXX not below the DME steps" doesn't happen at any of our radar-towered airports. I agree that DME Arrivals (in the context of a full-blown instrument approach procedure) are still used, almost always only in Class G airpsace at CTAF airports. A DME Arrival or LLZ/DME is quite different to Renurpps descent problem at DRW.
