Not only is this a very good point, but it doesn't just apply at the
SLD level.  ICANN will be selling vanity TLD's someday soon, and it'll
be necessary to think about www.doesnotexistatall.ebay and .amazon and
.google and so forth.  Rewriting NXDOMAIN under *any* zone cut, not
just the SLD zone cut, could harm a domain owner.
