[[Set]] and inherited readonly data properties

[Andrea Giammarchi]

I know it won't get updated any time soon but unfortunately, and specially
in some emerging market, [these kind of phones](

are still quite common ... you guys should speed up spreading FirefoxOS on
$25 deals !!!

Anyway, I was just saying Android 2.x is like the IE6 of these days, IMO
... and I am not sure it will go away any time soon.

Best Regards
