This tells me that > the readonly MIP does not ensure a value doesn't change.

So, from the form author's view point, they know that particular nodes are read-only, whether or not calculate and read-only are used together or alone. From the model author's perspective, the behaviour is defined, so they know what they get if calculate and read-only are combined. > And consider that xforms:setvalue is not a view only thing, it is very > often used in the model, for example I have a use case in front of me > where I perform certain initializations this way upon xforms-ready. Yes, me too. But I think of setvalue as not really belonging to the model, more to the controller. I don't think the model is just whatever sits inside the model element, rather it is the combination of schema and MIPs. After all, the model can also contain message - which is view. Placing these constructs within the model element is really just a convenience to allow the form author to take advantage of particular events, as you imply.
