There certainly is; "ProDOS" in this context was denoting a filesystem type.
You're right in noting that ProDOS-8 (the operating system) does not support
this file type, but it sure can encounter it if it was placed into the
filesystem by a GS/OS utility.  IIGS users commonly encounter both GS/OS and
ProDOS-8 modes of operation on the same shared ProDOS file systems.
