Default opening a word document Read-Only locks the file - work around?

Word 2003
1) opening a common document, locks the file
2) trying to open a locked document tells you who has it locked.
3) opening a document as Read-Only, locks the file (stupid)
4) trying to open a document that someone has open as Read-Only will not
open and will not tell you who has it locked.

Is this a bug or a feature?
