See, you called it “asynchronous serial protocol” there. But one can certainly think of asynchronous serial protocols that are outside those bounds.

The Wikipedia article [0] calls this category “asynchronous start-stop signaling” but has no source.

I guess the best term is “UART protocol”, despite the limited size of the “universe”, since it’s really just a de facto convention established by decades of chips called “UARTs”.
