Sep 14, 2010 at 10:29 comment added BCnrd The definition given in the curve case is correct when $p$ is a $k$-rational point. In general, for a curve over a field, your "formal" description is imposed at a point over $p$ on $X_ {\overline{k}}$. With some hard work, it can be shown that this forces $k(p)$ to be a separable extension of $k$. In section 2 of Ch. III of the book "Etale Cohomology and the Weil Conjecture" by Freitag-Kiehl they give an elegant (albeit somewhat technical) discussion of ordinary double points in all relative dimensions, especially relating the "formal" definition to an etale-local definition.
