I'm not sure which, if any, of the possible solutions maps onto what the
situation was before it was changed for the worst in a later update.

At times I have found myself opening documents and wondering why on Earth why
they were Read Only. I can't remember if this was on password protected
documents or not, but I did find it annoying that such a version of my document
was opened without any choice in this matter by me.
