Boris his point is that if you can not edit it it should match :read-only. So
anything that matches :disabled will match :disabled:read-only but not the
other way around.

However, taking <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271720#c33> into
account it might be that more pseudo-classes will eventually come up. 
All these
things should be clarified though imho and if possible fast.
