[Bob Vance]

Hmm.  That about sums it up :)

So many RFCs.
So little time :|

I forgot to say, the introduction to RFC 2136 also says:

   A domain name identifies a node within the domain name space tree
   structure.  Each node has a set (possibly empty) of Resource Records
   (RRs).  All RRs having the same NAME, CLASS and TYPE are called a
   Resource Record Set (RRset).
