No, definitely not.  The draft should say here's how a client asks question X, and
the server can either return a response in the presribed format, or an error
code that means "I don't know" or "I won't tell you."

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask registries to implement the trivial
amount of extra code to return don't know responses to queries they don't
handle.

R's,
John
