I was thinking we would *not*. They'd be displayed read-only
in the right-hand browser just as we already do in the
EMR browser plugin. Actually, once this SOAP entry widget is
working we might want to drop the browser-only plugin and just
use the soap entry plugin browser for browsing. It may be an
idea to allow the user to use a horizontal splitter window for
left-hand soap input and right hand emr browser to allow the
user to epand the right side when browsing only.

I agree. Let's not use it for editing old notes. Which, however,
can still be useful for fixing typos and stuff. We do have the
audit trail in any case.

Sounds alright with me.
