I'm not really a DNS person, I just sometimes pretend to be one.

Here, I am very confused.  Why would glue be required for a nameserver
that sits in a different DNS hierarchy?  As in, why is the question of
"correct or incorrect glue" relevant at all here?

I do understand the ".net IN NS a.gtld-servers.net. which can only be 
resolved with glue" case, but ".ne IN NS ne.cctld.authdns.ripe.net"
should be fine without any glue?

Curious,
