IMHO, public DNS is not a technical jargon which needs a DNS terminology RFC to record (it collects all DNS definition and terms from other DNS RFC).
The term "Public DNS" or "Public DNS service" belongs to the scope of how people provide and operate DNS services to their best interests. There are many similar terms, such as Cloud DNS, Dynamic DNS, DNS firewall, and many DNS-attacking terms. BTW, I'm happy to see there is a document to define all DNS attacks and mitigation suggestions.
