In both the V7 and the system 5 manual pages for the shell (sh(1)), the BUGS
section includes the fact that readonly without arguments produces the same
output as export without arguments.  I'm not sure why no one fixed this before,
because the fix was extremely simple.  Now, readonly lists only those variables
that *are* readonly, and export lists those that have been exported.
