This is probably the most common usage of "diatonic" but is not 
exclusively so. A natural minor scale is also diatonic, as are modes 
that have the same interval pattern as the major scale (just starting 
with a different step as the tonic). These are less common usages 
(and are perhaps deemed "old fashioned" or even valid in some 
circles) but they are nevertheless legitimate.
