Apart from the argument about syntax, what are (or will be) the rules about
whether glue is required or not?

That is: are in-domain nserver attributes required to specify at least
one IP address? And are IP addresses for not-in-domain nserver attributes
illegal? or ignored?

In theory, at least, there is the always awkward question of "sibling glue",
as in

  domain: 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa
  nserver: ns.2.168,192.in-addr.arpa [an-IP-address?]

  domain: 2.168.192.in-addr.arpa
  nserver: ns.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa [an-IP-address?]

whose nserver attributes are individually not-in-domain.
