Otherwise not so much. I think that some of the things you have been looking at concern orphan glue, John -- glue records that have been promoted to authoritative, signed RRSets in the TLD zone following the removal of a zone cut. I think what Warren is talking about is the behaviour of the DNS as a whole (stub through authoritative) in the case where the zone cut is still there, so the A/AAAA records he is exercising are glue in the proper sense.
