Re: 7-day CfC: restrictions on password role - closes 15 June

No objection, but just noting an implication based on this part of the
proposed change:

" User agents MUST ignore the password role when it is applied to
elements which are neither editable nor explicitly marked as read only."

That requires that the Core-AAM specify the same constraint in the
mapping entries for the role.  It leads to a question of what user
agents do in this case; my guess is to map the element according to its
implicit role, i.e. treat as if 'role="password"' was not actually part
of the markup.
