I'll have to check some of the other manuals I have to see if I can get any 
confirmation of this. Come to think of it, I should also just look in the front 
of my Bosch FI parts book and see if there is a Cadillac section.

I'm not sure what they're describing there. None of the Bosch FI systems are 
true sequential, per his definition which I agree is reasonable. Also, I don't 
actually see the term D-Jet on that page anywhere. Sometimes, the only way to 
settle these debates is to get a look at the actual engine components. One 
thing that pops up on this page that bothers me is the mention of an oxygen 
sensor. There were never any D-Jet systems which used an oxygen sensor, at 
least to the best of my knowledge.
