I'm fairly certain Barry's right, and I work for Men & Mice. ;-)
Seriously, I think the misconception is that every subdomain needs
to be a subzone, and as a subzone has an SOA RR and NS RRs.
That's not the case, though: You can implicitly create a bar
subdomain by putting a record like
foo.bar IN A 10.0.0.1
into your zone data file. If you do, bar has no RRs associated with
it at all, so it can own a CNAME RR.
So, that said, we'll clarify the glossary.
