> In step 3, View mode is entered implicitly, because `view-read-only` is non-nil. From the user perspective it is only one command. I.e. the user just turns off and on Read-only mode. That means the user enters View mode vie Read-Only mode from a writable buffer. I think this should not alter the behavior of `View-exit` and after calling `View-exit` he should be in a writable buffer. Or am I wrong?

I'm not sure I agree with your interpretation.

Does anyone else have an opinion?
