Specifically referring to Section 3 of
draft-ietf-appsawg-nullmx-05, there is not such thing as a "NULL
MX Resource Record".  There is only an MX Resource Record that
this specification proposes to use with a convention involving
specific content in the DATA.  One could call that many things,
but "NULL MX Resource Record" isn't one of them.  

By my reading of that section, it is defining the term, if only by
virtue of the way it is used in the name of that section.

Perhaps your confusion would be resolved if the term had a comma in it,
so:  NULL, MX Record?

In other words, NULL is an adjective within the term.

If you would prefer a different term, please suggest one.

A better description of the record is "No Service MX Record" or "No
Service Offered MX Record".
