Actually they aren't in conflict.   3.7.3 is saying "you need an authoritative name server on the local net."   3.7.4 is saying "if you want names to be resolved externally, one way to make this work would be to set up secondaries on external servers."  In fact, the solution that I've seen discussed recently is to have the master on the local network be a hidden master, so that the only published authoritative servers for the zone would be the secondaries.   But the architecture document rightly avoids prescribing that solution.
