I think they're just trying to give the option of not having to rent a tux -- assuming you don't own one -- and with the exception of the TV folks I work with who do public appearances all the time, I don't know anybody who does own his own.
Problem with owning one is that they change the "in" styles so often that an older one really looks out of place.
I think the original definitions in this thread are right on. I seldom ever wear a tie. Dockers and at least a button down shirt. Loafers and blacks socks.
