No, this line indicates that I was asking about sarahwoody.com's name
servers. Mind the semicolon at the beginning - it is a comment line.

Good, because they are obviously broken, at least in the delegation
part.

Then ensure that you take them out of the zone data. Other people's
servers get mighty confused otherwise, as the data you are serving is
considered to be more current than whatever the delegating zones
(e.g., the gTLD servers) are serving.

Not a problem for me - but finding this many errors in one single zone
was a first for me. It usually is like one or two, but you made quite
a bunch of them.

Just make sure you get the delegation straitened out and ensure that
all servers are responding with the same information, and you should
be OK as far as what I have pointed out goes.
