Nope, that won't work.  Spyce tags can't syntactically handle valueless
parameters.  Really the best solution is to patch the input tag (that
text inherits from) in tags/form.py to handle readonly (and disabled)
attributes properly.  (i.e., take a boolean value as a tag parameter,
but emit the correct html.)
