that's a cop-out. given negative caching both for names and rrsets, plus 
a lazy sweep-hand to semi-persistently determine the content or 
nonexistence of the rrset that wasn't available as additional data, this 
problem sorts itself at the recursive layer. and it is a non-problem for 
the authority layer.

please, please, please make a document that advises authority and 
recursive server implementors to do this as additional data. do not add 
a new code-point.
