As well as being illegal evidence -- thanks Peter! -- the last sentence above is ambiguous. It can be interpreted as implying the glue record in the parent means the child doesn't have to have an A (or AAAA) record for the name server. Roy> in-bailiwick glue is a pleonasm while out-of-bailiwick glue Roy> is an oxymoron. The terminology may not be defined clearly. However the concept of out-of-bailiwick glue is something we all understand.
