I'm a little worried about preventing this notification...

If write-only properties "result in some state change" to
the GUI/UI, probably a change to the visuals, in some
cases an assistive technology may need to know that
"property X has changed" even if it's not ordinarily
a readable property, in order to keep consistent state
within the AT's view of the UI.

We don't know what the RO properties are offhand,
what should we grep for? :-)  Then maybe we can
identify when if ever this situation might arise.
