I'm happy with doing that, and we might as well get it right given that
it's been ~12 years since the first bug, so a few more days makes no
odds.

I'm pretty sympathetic with the idea of simply dropping the password
advice (as just mentioned by Diederik) but it seems that Holger prefers
to keep it in -- either is fine with me.

BTW I don't know much about how the translation side of things works,
but given that there are many ways of getting the fine detail of this to
be incorrect in various ways, is there a standard method for adding
hints for translators, and should that be done?

Cheers, Phil.
