No it is not a recursive definition. They, like you, have confused
themselves between Attribute without an s and Attributes with an s.
Read more carefully. They have written it wrongly. They MEANT to
write:
Attributes
The "Attributes" field is variable in length, and contains a list
of zero or more "Attribute" fields.
See the difference? I won't explain it again.

I actually read the whole rfc, unlike some people. But I don't see why
you should think I should!
