Odd, the old definition of Morse Code didn't use the terms "0" and "1",
nor "mark" and "space." All the timing was in terms of the length of a
single "dit."

As far as I know, Morse code did not "become digital" until some people
wanted to make it look as if it was more advanced than it is. Until then
it was as you describe.
