Perhaps a readonly mode isn't a feature found in many editors, but it con be useful the reasons I've described.
Hey, no argument from me. From what you said you were doing it makes sense.
Is this email posted to this list sufficient to request it as a future enhancement?
I suppose that all depends on weather or not Allan read it. :-) I'd say the thread made a pretty strong case for the usefulness of the feature but I don't know where it'd rank on his list of priorities.

One feature of BBEdit that I've missed since moving to TextMate a couple years ago is the ability to open a file Read Only, [...] Don't know about the other 2,999 editors that off that feature, tho, so I'll let others chime in about that ;)
Dave, Yeah, I kinda figured BBedit would have it. Somehow I kinda lump BBedit into the Emacs / vim category in my mind anyway. I was more thinking "editor" in the broader sense like, a graphic, audio or video editor in addition to just text. There's usually a pretty clear distinction between reader/player and creator/editor. Again, that's *usually* the case but I'd completely agree it can be useful at times.
