RE: readonly and setvalue

I'm happy to have gotten that calculate->readonly for UI controls settled in
this thread.
Now, as far as "MUST not be possible" does that mean that DOM access using
the get-instance interface must prevent it?

Hi Leigh,

I remembered that we agreed that calculate implies readonly. But if we 
put it that way:
"calculated nodes are not settable by form controls or setvalue.", then 
I agree, calculate would still work. We might want to be future-proof, 
and say: "It MUST not be possible to set calculated nodes by any other 
means than the calculate itself".

In addition "Form controls bound to calculated nodes SHOULD be rendered 
as they were bound to readonly nodes."
