looking into this a bit, it was added in commit
d8aa390b8620613b977dd5421f99d56c0e557f6b.

the "IsReadOnly" property is added here in Content::getResourceType:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/ucb/source/ucp/webdav/webdavcontent.cxx#n3190

but the ContentProperties::UCBNamesToDAVNames function does not contain
a mapping to a DAV property name, in contrast to the other properties
added in Content::getResourceType:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/ucb/source/ucp/webdav/ContentProperties.cxx#n221

so... is there some equivalent of "is-read-only" in WebDAV?
if not then maybe it was simply added there in error...
