That is, for time to time, you want to use XXE as a document browser rather than a document editor. You need something quite generic which is currently not implemented in XXE: ``File|Open'' + with a read-only checkbox. This read-only checkbox is truly useful when the document is stored on a WebDAV server supporting write locks. I'm sorry but I don't see how this functionality could be implemented by a third-party Java programmer. The functionality you need is sufficiently simple and generic to be implemented in XXE v4.x (probably not in XXE v4.0). I'll add this RFE to our TODO list.
