Now for Rex's theory,
Ive done a fair bit of sliding around in my little '86 (so i have some knowledge how a car slides) and my grasping of the whole subject is this:
Drift is a deliberately sustained oversteer slide where the car is purposely setup/held sideways into, through and out of a corner. Often using drastic measures to slew the car sideways in the first place (eg; handbrake, clutch pop, flick)
True Drift is then linking several corners together without gaining rear wheel traction between them.
Powerslide on the other hand is an oversteer slide but just one where the driver puts his foot down through the corner so it slides just after the apex and out of the corner. To put it simply A powerslide is like the last half of a Drift.
Nark & Remedy,
I think your idea of losing grip on all four wheels is wrong.
(Assumuing RWD) Rear wheels lose grip because the torque being transmitted to the ground compromises the grip limits and allows the wheels to be pushed laterally.
The front wheels, having no torque to transfer will maintain thier grip. This is wuy if you do a standstill and get someone to push on the side of the car, the rear will gradually rotate/swing around the front wheels (which stay in place).
4WD on the other hand is a different story.
Car handling/Drifting/Sliding is one of those areas where there is an abundance of variables combining into some very complex physical relationships. Much of what seperates a lame driver from a good driver is being able to understand what and how these relationships work.
If anyone fancy's some more explanation. Ill do my best.
