SEC XBRL `companyconcept` only serves the `us-gaap`, `dei`, and
`ifrs-full` taxonomy namespaces (per docs); this record pins down exactly what
happens when you ask for anything else.

**Company-specific extension taxonomy (`aapl:CustomMember`, not a real Apple
tag — chosen only to exercise the unsupported-namespace path):**
```
GET https://data.sec.gov/api/xbrl/companyconcept/CIK0000320193/aapl/CustomMember.json
```
HTTP 404:
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Error><Code>NoSuchKey</Code><Message>The specified key does not exist.</Message>
<Key>api/xbrl/companyconcept/CIK0000320193/aapl/CustomMember.json</Key>...</Error>
```

**Outright invalid taxonomy name against a real tag (`invalidns:Revenues`):**
```
GET https://data.sec.gov/api/xbrl/companyconcept/CIK0000320193/invalidns/Revenues.json
```
HTTP 404, **byte-for-byte the same shape** (same `Code`, same `Message`, only the
`Key` differs to match the request path).

Both failures are the underlying S3 bucket's generic "object doesn't exist"
response (the same `NoSuchKey` shape already recorded for bad XBRL frame
period-shapes on this host), not a `companyconcept`-specific "unsupported
taxonomy" or "unknown concept" message. An agent cannot distinguish "this
company has no custom tag by that name" from "this taxonomy prefix isn't served
at all" from the response alone — both read identically; only out-of-band
knowledge of the three supported namespaces disambiguates it.

How observed: 2026-10-08T05:04:59Z-05:05:01Z UTC, curl GET, descriptive
User-Agent, 2 requests ~2s apart.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
