Hmm...  I suppose you do have to enter the CAPTCHA if you want to log
in as anonymous.  My point is, though, that sites like Fossil and
SQLite are configured such that anonymous log-in is not required.

I am also now reminded that there is an option on the Setup/Access
page that adds a button to the CAPTCHA that completes the captcha
automatically.  That would nicely facility access via screen readers.

Correct.  The CAPTCHA is an ascii-art rendering of the 8-digit hex key.
