This probably needs to go upstream, but I'm not even sure who's in charge
of this documentation, if *anyone* at all is....  Nor am I sure who's in
charge of arranging the translations, etc.

Looks good.

[man]$ grep emphasis passwd.5.xml
      <emphasis>any</emphasis> access at all if the
      <emphasis>password</emphasis> field is blank.)
      If the <emphasis>password</emphasis> field is a lower-case
      there <emphasis remap=3D'B'>must</emphasis> be a corresponding line
      If the <emphasis>password</emphasis> field is any other string,
      The <emphasis remap=3D'B'>login</emphasis> program uses this
      The <emphasis remap=3D'B'>login</emphasis> program uses this

Seems last two <emphasis> can be replaced by <command>
and all <emphasis remap=3D'B'> can be replaced by <emphasis>.

I'm just finish this and commit to CVS tree.

Greg .. thank you.
