There is NO "next entry". INITIAL-INPUT is simply a string that gets inserted in the minibuffer. It need not correspond to any candidate provided by argument COLLECTION, meaning that it need not correspond to any completion.
`completing-read' can be LAX, meaning that, if REQUIRE-MATCH is nil or absent then it accepts any text you input - it need not be a completion candidate.
