If you want to prevent disclosing if an identifier exists, then you can
pretend that the user exist and return some default rights in the
LISTRIGHTS response.
However the LISTRIGHTS command already requires that the client has the
"a" right, so there might not be any point in hiding this information.
Otherwise I think both responses are Ok, I have slight preference for
the former.

If the current user doesn't have the "a" right, the server should always
return NO to the current user.
The "l" right is not relevant for the LISTRIGHTS command.

This is only an issue in relative URLs. The latest 2192bis draft adds a
requirement that leading slashes be %-encoded in relative URLs.
