> Can these be improved on? This is one of the core ideas in the DNS protocol and it seems a bit weird that we don't have a crisp set of definitions. If there is more text from RFCs to quote, that would possibly be a big help.

One detail that could be included (even if just as a brief reference) is the relevant signalling with RD/RA flags. The relevant text is in RFC 1034 4.3.1 and RFC 1035 4.1.1
