Well, if the stub that is going to query in this namespace _knows_
that it's special, then it also knows not to validate it too.  So
that's not a problematic case, and the provable denial of existence
from the root isn't an issue.

So the only question is whether this has to work properly for any
random resolver doing normal operations -- is this like RFC 1918 for
the DNS?  If we want that (and for homenet, for instance, that's
basically the use case) then we have a problem.  But if we don't think
that's necessary -- and I'm not sure it is -- then we don't have to
care about this.
