Don't be surprised if this is an elaborate way to restrict old gear from being worn by the new jobs. Up until now we've assumed that the new jobs can wear old gear. There is even heavy talk of the Machinist being able to wear the High Allagan Coat of Aiming from clips from the Benchmark, and everyone is going along with that. But it's quite possible the Benchmark allowed gear possibilities that will not actually be possible on launch. It's also possible that there is some new item, such as "High Allagan Coat of Sniping" that will be specifically for the Machinist alone.

Maybe you think it's dumb, but maybe it's a way of dealing with gear restriction without interfering too much with non-expansion clients.
Or maybe they will eventually go into the DoW/DoM sections like you want anyway...
