It says that RRSIGs exist at that name.
Could you say more? I don't understand the context here.

For example, "dig @f.root-servers.net -4 nl rrsig" gives a reply with no Answer 
section.

Explicit QTYPE=RRSIG is a gray area, I believe.  In some cases it could be a DoS vector [1], and I don't know of a use case for such a query, so it makes sense not to answer (in full).  In your particular example, if you ask for DS nl, you will get all RRSIGs for that name-type pair.  Overall, it's even explicitly standardized that RRSIGs do not form an RRset; they're more like an appendage to the RRset they sign.
