... Ah, great. I couldn't remember whether 1034 described this explicitly. Thanks for quoting the relevant sentences. My point was that 1034 did not use the term "Empty Non Terminal", although as you point out here, it clearly describes the concept (an interior node with no resource information, and that this node exists).
i coined the term "empty non-terminal" because i wanted to be understood by an audience who was never going to study RFC 1034 in sufficient detail to know what an "empty interior node" was. i now wish i had said "empty non-leaf", since "leaf" as used by RFC 1034 would have been easier to understand than "terminal".
