(Actually, and FWIW, that's not right.  Recent CAIDA figures indicate that 
98% of queries to the root zone are bad, but a relatively small proportion 
of those bad queries are for nonexistent TLDs.  The vast bulk of them 
present other problems -- most importantly, repeated queries for TLDs that 
*do* exist, where a misconfigured resolver, instead of accepting the answer 
and going away, keeps on hammering the root server over and over with the 
same query.)
