..."non-existent ... in existence."

Several people have said things like that in recent
times.  Including
me, I'll bet.

What exactly does it mean?

(Yes, I know.  We are talking about the fact that
strings submitted for
lookup that have not been registered as names would
not be cause an
error to be returned.  And that is clearly a lot
more words, if not a
clearer description of the problem.  We need a
wordsmith to give us a
short string that can be converted into a useful
TLA.)


How about this:

"Sitefinder gives Verisign revenue from every
non-existent, well-formed domain name."
