Chris, can you capture any other attributes whose writable state seems to be wrong now on Mac? Maybe we can clean up several at once.

I wonder if we could split the cross-platform interface into:

* isValueModifiable - independent of whether it's contentEditable or enabled, should this role have a modifiable value in general?
* isContentEditable
* isEnabled
* isEditableTextField

I think each platform could compute its correct values for "read only" based on these four. I believe we wouldn't need any special casing in cross-platform code then.
