Or a subset, or a completely different set. The relative sizes of the NS sets 
and the size of the intersection is not really relevant; the important thing 
for resolution is whether the union of both sets contains lame servers.

Any new work which needed to assert that both sets were the same would meet 
with little objection though, I think. It's commonly-shared wisdom that both 
sets should be the same, and "are consistent and remain so" (RFC 1034 section 
4.2.2) is fairly clear.
