Datepicker loses readonly status on kendo.bind

[CDC]

It seems that if you set a data-format (or other options like data-min, data-max) on a datepicker and call kendo.bind then the readonly status is lost.  Is this the expected behavior, as it doesn't seem correct?

See example:

Hello,

Thank you for providing a Dojo example!

This problem is related to the following issue:

https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/issues/6885 

First, the widgets are initialized by calling the kendo.init() method. Then, when the bind() method is called the widgets are initialized once again. To improve performance, instead of going through the entire initialization process all over again, the bind() method calls the setOptions method of the already initialized widget.

This leads to the described problem.

Workaround

Calling the readonly method after the initialization is the correct workaround at the moment(you've already done that).

Aside from that, the kendo.bind() method also initializes the widgets, so it is a bit of a duplicate work to first call kendo.init and then kendo.bind.

I would recommend that you call just kendo.bind. As long as you don't use setOptions, the problem should not appear.
