Well - Caolan's patch requires no validation in my view; there is no need for a consensus :-) > I think it would be good for everyone if we can reach a broad consensus > on this, including from OOo's UX team.

I'll post on OOoUX list about that tonight. So - I suspect that the writer read-only mode is at least a little complex. AFAIR there are forms with fields in that can be filled on (ie. edited) in 'read-only' mode - yet the document itself cannot be edited: but (quite possibly) this is some other read-only / document locked type state that we could express differently.
