I dont think I have ever come across USE that wasnt also listed as RHH, thus fine for inside.

I agree with electrofelon on this one as well.
I think USE-2's rating that forbids it from being used inside is really more of an academic rule, than a practical rule today. It could also have something to do with the history of the product development, that at one point there was some reason why USE wire with no other ratings couldn't be used inside. I don't think I've ever seen USE-2, that isn't also rated RHH/RHW-2.
Additionally, I've also never seen TW or THHN that isn't also rated THWN-2.
PV wire is a "super-USE-2" wire that also passes a flame test.
I agree a lot of the use-2 has a duel insulation of RHW-2. I wish that rating had been called out, as DON said he sees a lot Of URD and we see a lot of USE being sold. I am glad it is your feeling most Guys when the call out USE-2 thay actually mean USE-2 RHW-2
