OK. This example is the most commonly seen in web searches.

Exactly one delegation NS record.
Several have made that clear; ie I now clearly understand there is
*not* another NS delegation record needed in the zone with the $ORIGIN
that is part of the ("non vanity") nameserver's FQDN.

Almost goes without saying that above A record is needed.

Interesting. I think the glue record make sense.
I'm not planning to do this. :->
I do not see any delegation NS record for otherdomain.com above.
Is this right?:
TLD com zone:
example.com IN NS ns.otherdomain.com
ns.example.com IN A x.x.x.x (glue record?)
otherdomain.com IN NS ns.example.com
ns.otherdomain.com IN A x.x.x.x (glue record?)
