OK, I think I've figured this out, for myself.  ns.catwhisker.org is
"out of bailiwick" (outside the limits of authority) for the .com/.org
GLTD servers.  Therefore, any glue "A" record that hypothetically
_could_ be created in the *.gltd-servers.net records would be improper,
and the data _should_ be ignored by any cache that happened to receive
it.

So, in this particular case, having no glue record in my parent zone 
is The Right Thing.
