But what might help clear up some of the confusion would be to redefine them as pseudo-records rather than DNS RRs. The problem with glue records is that they are not properly in the DNS name space. They do not originate from the server that is authoritative for the zone in question. They cannot and should not be used for any purpose other than interpreting the zone delegation passed in the same message. The terminology document might be the wrong place to admit that they are a bad idea but we can flag them as not being part of the Internet DNS name space.
