With regard to observation #4 at the second stage login, MS-IE completes
the login sequence if the "Return" key is pressed after the password is
entered. A specific difference is that the "Login" button is highlighted.

After checking the source html, (relevant snippet included below), and
checking the HTML 4.01 standard, I'm not certain that MS-IE is correct in
the behaviour of using the "Return" key to activate the first input/submit
control, although the graphical example given in section 17.4 suggests
otherwise.

      <form method=POST action = "<website program"> 
      <p>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor=#FFFFFF>
    Username<br>
    <input type=text name = Username>
    <p> 
    Password<br>
    <input type=password name = Password>
    <p> 
    <input type=submit name=option value=Login>
    <input type=submit name=option value="I forgot my password">
  </form>

Looking at User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, section 5.5 refers
to automatic form submission when pressing the "Return" key, and section
9.6 seems to allow a range of relevant behaviours.
