I woke up today and suddenly thought of the perfect name for an web
browser in Emacs: "eww".

It stands for...  Emacs Web...  Wowser?  Walker?  Wrangler?

Anyway, it's now mostly implemented (it's mainly just a matter of adding
form support -- the rest is in shr.el).

I'm using widget.el for data entry.

The only bit that I can't seem to find, but I thought was in widget
somewhere, is support for entering passwords.  Do I misremember?  That
is, it's supposed to just display ***** when you type stuff in.

`:secret'
     Character used to display the value.  You can set this to e.g. `?*'
     if the field contains a password or other secret information.  By
     default, this is `nil', and the value is not secret.

Thanks!
