It just occurred to me -- are you suggesting that we use different defaults
for read-only documents? That makes slightly more sense to me. In
particular, it could get quite frustrating to right-click on a squiggle in a
read-only document. It's not like you can make the change, right?
I guess it'd depend on how we implement read-only, huh? If we let you type
but force any saves to go to another file, then squiggles are OK. However,
I'd guess that read-only prevents any changes at all, in which case the
above argument starts becoming more appealing.
Paul,
