You're certainly right that there is software that sends NXDOMAIN when 
NODATA would be appropriate or vice versa.  (rbldnsd which is widely used 
in dnsbls has been a notable example which I think is now mostly fixed, 
due to giving wrong answers to minimized queries.)  But I think we're 
agreeing that it's better to confirm this is bad practice and encourage 
software to conform than to add yet another hump on the camel.

R's,
