As stated by someone else, recursion implies, well.. recursion :) Meaning you
should be able to use an ID_RECURSE within an ID_RECURSE (to an arbitrary
depth). Obviously we don't want this.

However the draft states (correctly, I would think): "ID_RECURSE IDs cannot
appear inside ID_RECURSE ID payloads.". Therefore, it's NOT recursive.

What it is, is a LIST of ID payloads. So ID_LIST would be a much better name.
Or ID_OF_IDS ;)
