Subject: Write-Once Read Many (WORM) attribute authz
It would be nice to specify the ability to "write once and read many" (WORM) for a class attribute, since there are times where once an attribute is set, it should not be changed. A simple way to implement it might be to have it not allow writes to an attribute unless it is undefined. (Of course, one could write 'undef' to such an attribute many times, but that is not too likely or common, and if it's documented, then authors could be aware of that.)

Nevermind. I realized that there is the "once" attribute. [rrwo - Sat Nov 13 18:05:41 2004]: Show quoted text

You want the "once" parameter, which has been in since 0.20.

Oops, just saw that you saw the "once" parameter. Thanks!
