I use the same terminology also (i.e., "delegation NS records" vs. "glue
records").
But it should be noted that within existing RFCs the terminology differs:
RFC 1034 4.2.1:
..."glue" RRs which are not
part of the authoritative data, and are address RRs for the servers.
RFC 1034 4.2.2:
...delegation NS RRs and glue RRs
but:
RFC 2181 5.4.1:
"Glue" above includes any record in a zone file that is not properly
part of that zone, including nameserver records of delegated sub-
zones (NS records), address records that accompany those NS records
(A, AAAA, etc), and any other stray data that might appear.
It's unclear whether "'glue' above" means "glue, for the purposes of this
document" or "glue, which we are restating the definition of", but it
sounds to me like the latter. In any case, the definition differs from
that previously stated (and my own understanding).
