Oops... I see now that org-publish-find-date and org-publish-find-title
call org-export-get-environment. This in turn relies on org-set-local to
set #+BIND: variables, which requires the buffer to be writable. I have
an org-mode-hook that sets some of my web publishing files read-only (so
as to prevent accidental editing). Without org-inhibit-startup, these
buffers remain read-only, causing the following error message:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
org-export--get-global-options: Buffer is read-only: #<killed buffer>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This could be solved by wrapping org-export-get-environment withing
those functions with (let ((buffer-read-only nil)) ...).

However, I think the fundamental problem is that
org-export-get-environment should be called on a copy of the buffer.
That, at least, is how it is used in org-export-as (see lines 3084 -
3107 of ox.el). When org-publish-find-title and org-publish-call-date
calls it in a buffer that is already open, it does so on the original
copy of the buffer. This has the effect of setting the #+BIND variables
within the live buffer, which could (theoretically) be dangerous, since,
AFAICT, they should only be set in a temporary copy of the buffer.

So to be safe, we could do the following in org-publish-find-date and
org-publish-find-title... 

(org-export-with-buffer-copy (org-export-get-environment))

What do you think?

Best,
Matt
