I wouldn't think so, no more than setting locLock on an object. The 
original HC purpose was to allow users to temporarily make changes to a 
card which would never be saved (HC auto-saved stacks continuously.) A 
stack with cantModify will behave similarly to today's compiled apps, in 
that respect. It can still be useful in LC where you want a card to 
revert to its original state while allowing users to make temporary 
changes. For example, a drawing program could allow users to create 
artwork on the card, and when the stack closes or the card changes, the 
card would revert to its original condition without any scripting.
