Given a domain that is hosted and used for email and web, is an A record for that domain actually required?

That is, if bob.tld is hosted by example.com can you simply have

	NS ns1.example.com
	NS ns2.example.com
	MX mx.example.com

www	CNAME www.example.com

Without specifying 

	A 11.22.33.444

(I am pretty sure this is *technically* allowed, but is it really OK to do or are there reasons not to do this?)

	ultimately called the boldest towards them…
