The intent would be that it just isn't there. So, something like this:

Rich: The above is fine when the answer contains multiple PIDs
and one PID is omitted from the response.
However, consider a query involving a singleton destination PID, i.e.,
what happens if a client asked for the cost between a source PID
representing a transit network (say PID1) to a destination
PID representing the Internet (say PID5)?
Is the right answer:
(a) "PID1:" {}
(b) "PID1:" { "PID5" : NaN }
where "NaN" is essentially an infinite cost (replace NaN by your
favorite token).
