It does.  If it's not possible to have a valid query that's been sent
to the right place, but to have no data to return... then we're OK.

Perhaps part of the problem here is that using-http seems to depend on
rdap-query, but there's no normative reference to rdap-query here
(only from rdap-query to using-http).  Does using-http really make
*any* sense at all without rdap-query?
