This is an overinterpretation of "updates". An RFC can update another without updating every part of it. Note that RFC 2181 only defines "glue" for its own use "above"; it does not say that it updates the definition in RFC 1034. > If I were arguing that the RFC 2181 definition is not "correct", I would be > looking for an RFC that Updates RFC 2181 and has a different definition of > glue.

And those RFCs kinda conflict with each other on the use of the term "glue". --Paul Hoffman
