Yes, you should never assume BSS space is cleared. DS can be used in all sections, not just BSS.
Unfortunately on later Kickstarts, the OS interferes and clears them with a slow routine, when in fact you just wanted some workspace, which means you wouldn't need to clear it at all. And if you wanted it or part of it cleared, you'd like to do it with an optimal routine.
It's not so nice to click a program, and just because it declared some BSS, there's a second of extra delay starting it, instead of opening right away.
