I'd like to reopen these for discussion; mostly as the originals aren't readily available to read, but also I'd like to bring up the four rules as I understand them.
1 - Only stories count. These are both stories. 2 - Commercial license. This was released by the BBC, who own all four characters featured. 3 - Official release. Both stories have been released in their entirety. 4 - Non-DWU Unlike The Sixth Doctor is on Trial Again or The Home Assistants of Death, these two stories aren't pastiches or tongue-in-cheek, and are clearly intended to feature Jo and Ace as they are in any other DWU stories. We can assume that the clips featured in Ace Returns! are meant to be flashbacks akin to the flashbacks seen in Death of the Doctor or Journey's End.
We should also take authorial intent into account; these were very explicitly intended to be part of the DWU, and the writer has gone on record to say as such.
