No, it just doesn't say. This was discussed during the run-up to RFC 8109, and there was not consensus on a SHOULD for those resolvers. >> Resolver software SHOULD NOT expect 13 NS RRs because > > This is somewhat out of the blue.

This too was caught in an earlier review, and is now "If the Additional section omits some root server addresses..." --Paul Hoffman
