        I'll send you a sample document with the wunder-interoperable fields in

Hm, with both my changed master as well as a stock 3.5, I could only get that document to expose editable fields when the document was in r/w mode and non-editable fields when the document was in r/o mode. So not sure that document (or the way I inspected it) helps verify I broke something.

I'll try to get the Calc (and other applications?) problems fixed as
soon as possible (I only noticed that problem now that I thought I was
mainly done, but had only ever tested my changes with Writer), but am

Turned out the Calc thing was independent of my changes; <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=477c2229d2532a11ec8c81b9ef392ce49357f95c> "Missing initialization" fixes that.

many surprises lurk in this area.  So I would really like to hear other
people's thoughts.
