Problem is not with names that do not exist. There are many names that
do not exist today and pose no problems.

The problem starts when a standards track document promotes a name that
does not exist for some purposes.

That's a situation that requires careful handling. Either by not having
such a document in the first place or by making sure that the name
that does not exist can be used safely without manual configuration on
any end-user device that happens to include a DNSSEC validator.
