Thank you, that's exactly my point. The doc says what is the right thing
to do in vast majority of cases (SERVFAIL for Bogus, NXDOMAIN for
localhost.) and those who know what they are doing will use knobs to do
whatever thay want. As usual.

In other words, please do not delay documents indefinitelly just because
they do not cover all conceivable use-cases. Weird stuff happens on
networks, and that's why we have all the knobs.
