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.
