    I am also curious to know how the DM commands "ro" and "cv" work.

The file_modified variable is maintained completely within the DM.  I.e.
it's an attribute of the "pad" not the file.  Since the DM does not use
the pad_$ calls to implement CV (or any of the other DM commands), it
can do whatever it pleases.  As to why the semantics of the
pad_$create[_window] calls differ from CV/CE in the interpretation of
read-only/modified flags, that's a longer story, that I think is
probably not worth going into.
