You're right, and that's how it's supposed to work.  The functionality
you're describing can always be added as extensions if/when someone wants
them.

There's nothing that should stop a query from being answered completely, so
a 1000 response code is appropriate.  Remember that each response code is
related directly to the command it is being sent for and it becomes easier
to remember which code is appropriate.
