	RFC 1034.

   3. Start matching down, label by label, in the zone.  The
      matching process can terminate several ways:

	You leave the zone when you hit the NS RRset at bottom of
	zone.  3b reinforces this statement.  Glue is below the
	zone.  

         b. If a match would take us out of the authoritative data,
            we have a referral.  This happens when we encounter a
            node with NS RRs marking cuts along the bottom of a
            zone.

	RFC 2181 also has a retriction about promoting additional
	records (glue) to the answer section.
