There was a great deal of discussion of DSC and ASC+T back in January and February. One of the BMW websites contains a brief description of both and was referenced in this post:

The simple way I try to keep them straight is that:
ASC+T acts to prevent the front wheels from spinning under acceleration by applying the brake on the spinning drive wheel, then reducing the engine throttle if more action is still required.

DSC in addition, acts to prevent loss of control during cornering or sudden steering maneuvers by applying the brake on any combination of all four wheels and also reducing the throttle if necessary.

DSC can apply any one or more of the brakes, as well as route more engine torque to one front wheel over another.

noahe, from what I've read on the subject, everything you said above is accurate except I don't know how DSC can send more torque to one drive wheel, since no MINI model has a limited slip differential.
