That would work when the returned zero-terms matches well with non-zero terms 
from other shards. I can follow the idea, but it seems like a rather narrow 
case and there is no sanity checking on cardinality.

Medium-cardinality seems problemativ too. With a cardinality of just 10.000 
values and a result set size of 100, there seems to be little chance of any 
zero-terms from one shard matching any non-zero ones from another.
