So a domain name would be in-bailiwick with regards to a given zone if
it is part of that zone or any of its child zones?

They do make it clear whether glue records are necessary, which is
useful. "Sibling domain" seems to also include the case where the name
server is part of the parent zone which is un-intuitive but also
probably rare enough to not warrant a separate term. One option would
be to only define "in-domain" as a special case of "in-bailiwick" that
needs special treatment?
