Ralf (and others),

how does this look to you?

In other words, this document only makes requirements on "available
glue records" (i.e., those given in a zone), but does not make
requirements regarding thier presence in a zone.
If some glue records are absent from a given zone, an authoritative
name server may be unable to return a useful referral response for
the corresponding domain. The IETF may want to consider a separate
update to the requirements for including glue in zone data, beyond
those given in [@!RFC1034] and [@!RFC1035].
