Zones This section defines terms that are used when discussing zones that are being served or retrieved. Zone -- A unit of organization of authoritative data. [...] Authoritative data -- RRsets in the Answer section of a DNS response that has the AA bit in the response header set to 1. [/snip] This seems to describe how Authoritative data must be marked in a DNS response, rather than to define Authoritative data. Besides, section 6.2.7 of RFC1034 shows a non-authoritative RR in the Answer section of a response which has the AA bit. I'ld suggest using the following text from RFC1034 (section 4.2.1): "The authoritative data for a zone is simply all of the RRs attached to all of the nodes from the top node of the zone down to leaf nodes or nodes above cuts around the bottom edge of the zone."
