For a demonstration of PmWiki's captcha display (and its readability),
see http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Captcha . And it's also
possible to generate text-only captchas, which are at least
as effective as displaying a password on Site.EditForm -- actually
more effective, since the captcha value will change for each
new session.
