Hiya,

Thanks for the response. Good to know that the crypto
here is not an issue:-)

I don't buy that tbh. There is a significant cost and risk
too - passwords are re-used all over the place. Sending
any password in clear anytime puts at risk whatever else
that password is re-used for. And we know that does
happen. (On average passwords used in the web are used in
about 8 different places is the last study result that I
recall.)

I think this spec would be far better off advising to
not continue that bad practice.
