21 * @short Base class for an "editor" part.
22 *
23 * This class handles network transparency for you.
24 * Anything that can open a URL, allow modifications, and save
25 * (to the same URL or a different one).
26 *
27 * A read-write part can be set to read-only mode, using setReadWrite().
28 *
29 * Part writers :
30 * Any part inheriting ReadWritePart should check isReadWrite
31 * before allowing any action that modifies the part.
32 * The part probably wants to reimplement setReadWrite, disable those
33 * actions. Don't forget to call the parent setReadWrite.
