Default Standing-Wave Current vs Traveling-Wave Current

No. Walter is exactly right, and don`t drag any distortionless line into
the discussion. That is a device for audio circuits. For RF, you only
need a low-loss (Zo = R) transmission line.

Richard, a lossless line is a special case of a distortionless line (ie all
lossless lines are distortionless lines, but not vice versa).

Specifying a distortionless line is less limiting than restriction to only
lossless lines.

You are actually proposing a greater restriction than I, and it isn't
necessary.
