That's probably using illegal evidence, 1033 has no formal status.

There are different glue policies in place. DE is using a strict one (matching
your definition above), while COM/NET apply a less strict (in fact IIRC even a
combined one). The paragraph cited above is correct, but it doesn't limit
glue to that case. But this is all only about differentiating between servers
below the delegating or the delegated domain.

The presentation is in fact about "trustworthy additional information".
But let's wait until tomorrow ...
