Although I get the feeling you're envisioning something much more complex than I am.
I'm not imagining anything special about the list (that's why I said not read-only, it's just another list).
I'm just thinking of another option under "When syncing this list" that would "Make this list a list of items on the device".
The only additional requirement being that if auto-sync ("Sync this list to this device as soon as it is connected") is checked, it should be the last auto-sync job to run.
So if the "Make this list a list of items on the device" option is selected the list wouldn't be used to manipulate items on the device at all -- it just creates a snapshot of what's on the device for later reference in Calibre, optionally setting tags (just as existing lists do).
(It wouldn't "mean" anything to add/remove an item from this list -- unless I then changed the "When syncing this list" option to have it sync items
to the device.)
Cheers!
