I think it would be useful if we could produce an authoritative taxonomy of the 
DNS. I agree that many terms are frequently overloaded, and that it causes 
headaches for me every day.

Note that I'm not saying with any certainty that I think it will be possible to 
produce an authoritative taxonomy that everybody agrees with. But I think it's 
worth a try, and I'd be happy to volunteer to contribute.

I don't think it's practical to revisit every DNS-related RFC and normalise the 
language (enthusiasm to produce a unified DNS specification has never resulted 
in text in the past) but at the very least we could provide some assistance to 
help future document authors use terminology in a consistent fashion.
