I believe that's a reference to empty non-terminals. If you created, for
instance, an AAAA record for

new-server.an-empty-name.example.com

in the example.com zone and there were no entries specifically for
an-empty-name.example.com, the node an-empty-name.example.com would exist
in DNS, because it's part of the AAAA resource record,
new-server.an-empty-name.example.com, but would have no resource records
associated with it. So a query for any resource record type for the name
an-empty-name.example.com would return a NOERROR response with 0 answers.

HTH,
