I don't understand that wording of the comment either unfortunately :( It's not that it
shouldn't be used, it's more that in the original generated code (I think) it was written
like this:

REFIID riid;

(REFIID  ) riid = 0;

I'm not sure why MIDL did this, but as REFIID is simply

#define REFIID              const IID* const

changing those instances to IID* should "fix" it without any warnings about assigning to 
a readonly variable.

REFIID can still be used elsewhere though.
