You missed my point and I am sorry.
I was looking for a statement from industry where the uni-directional
transorb was NOT to be used. That its not mentioned to me says its OK as it
is really a zener or a simple diode if properly connected and the voltage
ratings recognized.
I know of no such statement as while it may be a silly application it will
work just fine.
I was expecting a simple " its a stupid application but you are right" from
you.

In the automotive world, cars (at least General Motors cars) have to withstand reverse battery in case someone jumpers a dead battery with a good 12 volt battery backwards for a specified period of time. I don't remember the time. It may be 1 minute or only 10 seconds, but they don't want that to wipe out anything on the car. Maybe this applies to unidirectional Transzorbs, I'm not sure. Just a thought.

I agree with your title of your post.
As for your comment about reverse voltage it would apply to diodes also.
