Yep,  IMAP at least works this way too.  And for something like
scheduling it is important for a client to know that 'yes, such a
contact exists' even though it doesn't have 'access'.  Else it is easy
to get into a situation where someone modifying an object without access
to all related entries might cause information loss.
