I get the feeling that, along with things like 'email address
verification' in javascript form things, passwd storage and management
is something done via a few (or a bunch of crappy home-grown) code
bases.

Seems like 'find the common/most-used' ones and fix them would get
some mileage? I don't imagine that 'dlink' (for example) is big on
following rfc stuff for their web-interface programming? (well, at
least for things like 'how should we store passwds?')
