Where did you get that idea? I don't see any mentioning of NickServ in
that document.
I looked in the source code and found this:
"Use PASSWD as user password on the server."
The variable erc-session-password is then set to PASSWORD and then
when erc-login is called it sends the value as "PASS" to the server.
I'm not sure where erc-login is actually called as I'm not that
familiar with ERC myself but I definitely think the password parameter
is for authenticating to the IRC server.
