🤪

Let's make sure the NODRIVER (the successor to JPS3) fixes this nonsense.  I seem to remember some discussion of this back when I authored JPS3 ("how do I know that document-password is supported...") but it looks like the final text wasn't properly cleaned up.

It should, of course, tie "document-password-supported" to "document-password", and not vice-versa.
