Oct 29, 2018 at 1:45 comment added Jérôme Poineau @DavidWhite: You say that Munkres' definition implies Type A, but is the example at the end of Theo Buehler's answer not a counter-example to that?
Jul 23, 2015 at 6:27 comment added David White Yes, it does seem Munkres is assuming fixed point free in his book. I suppose he's interested in the topology of the quotient, but it does seem restrictive. Thanks for pointing this out.
Jul 23, 2015 at 1:46 comment added Dylan Thurston The definition you're attributing to Munkres is closer to what I would call "properly discontinuous and fixed-point free". I would certainly allow a properly discontinuous action to have fixed points, myself.

Made substantial edits to relate Munkres' definition to Theo's answer and Type A
