Well, I guess it's not consistent with OOo's behaviour regarding read-only 
files, but this behaviour (i.e. limiting the actions you can perform on the 
file) has many drawbacks from a UX point of view (I can elaborate on this point 
if it's not obvious  see 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User:Camillem/aboutFramework#Read_Only_files_should_be_open_in_R.2FW_mode
 ).
 So, apparently, from a technical point of view, when you add a feature, you 
have to add extra code to specify that the feature should not be accessible in 
ReadOnly mode. If that's the case, it would be a good example of unnecessary 
additional complexity to the code and one more good reason to change the 
behaviour to something simpler.

Mine also ;-)
