I can well imagine a machine doing a reverse lookup on a proposed

        NODATA -> unsafe

So when I do a reverse lookup of 255.255.255.255 or ::0, and BIND
gives me a "NODATA" response from its automatic empty zones that
cover just those specific addresses and no others, then it is being "unsafe"?
