--- Comment #19 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

   + purpose of readonly is not to block saving but to keep the
     original document (Maria)
   + ctrl+a/c allows to copy/paste all (Sascha)
     + protection prevents changes but does not ensure its
       readonly via copy/paste or access to the document
       structure (Sascha)
     + storing the pw inside a non-encrypted file is an issue too

Possible solutions:

   + show the "readonly" infobar and edit/save after prompting 
     for pw (Heiko)
   + auto tick the "Save with password" checkbox and let the
     user insert a pw (or not) in the next dialog (Maria)
   + use File > Properties: Security > Open file read-only for this 
     kind of protection and remove the option from the 
     save dialog (Sascha)

Best seems to reconsider the complete workflow. Leaving it open for Xisco,
Vasiliy.
