Hi Eike,
The idea sounds good. The problem is that we can not currently
100%-correct say whether current user is able to open the document ( ACL
and so on in heterogeneous network can make life complex ), we have to
try to open it to know it for sure. In those circumstances it would be
problematic to detect whether other users would be able to edit the
document.
Another possible minus, it could be confusing for some users, who do not
know much about access rights.
Best regards,
Mikhail.

In other words, there should be a possibility to configure office in the
way, that it opens the documents readonly always. If user wants to edit
the opened document, he has to switch the document to edit mode
explicitly.
Just a quick idea: let the preferred open mode also depend on the file's
access permission properties. If a file's permissions allow only the
current user write access there's no reason to open it read-only.
