The very first two sentences of the draft are (to my reading) at odds 
with that:

"There are many reasons that a DNS query may fail, some of them
  transient, some permanent; some can be resolved by querying another
  server, some are likely best handled by stopping resolution.
  Unfortunately, the error signals that a DNS server can return are
  very limited, and are not very expressive."
