I think we should consider security above user choice here. So in general
I support adding the tag to login forms. My only objection is, as someone
noted, that it is not xhtml complaint. But it certainly would help the
security rating of Horde/IMP (for those using it in public places, shared
web browsers, etc).

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
