in short, you would mount the share in question normally like: mount 1.2.3.4:/share /mnt/share
after you're done: umount /mnt/share
and mount again read-only for safety: mount -o ro 1.2.3.4:/share /mnt/share

no need for a different user in this case either because read-only mounts are global. not only nfs but 
mounts in general.

not necessarily. it could be an unintended side effect of other changes which could be sorted again by 
yet another unrelated change.
i know that sounds a little far fetched but i've seen such cases more than once.
