The difference between the two is roughly 1.5-2 miles -I interepreted the clearance as the SFO vor and started down at 6DME from SFO; which puts you on glideslope or right about there - the CA on the other hand started to FREAK out because he/she(will remain nameless and genderless for the sake of argument) had the LOC up and was looking at the DME off the LOC - If you look at any charted visuals into SFO the DME is in reference to SFO not LOC dme - anyone else ever run into this??
