The problem with that definition, though I guess it is technically most accurate, is that it doesn't help anyone who doesn't already understand the difference. After all, the second of these only says, "a recursive resolver says that it wants recursion", which is hardly elicidating for the uninitiated. I think Tony's proposal is on the right track (certainly better than the quick excerpt we did from STD 13, which is at least as confusing). But I think Paul put his finger on the problem with that text: there's no way to know in advance what sort of server you're querying.
