This is more significant than I initially thought, and it does allow any username and password an ebook supplier wants to use, see
Customer FAQ: Adobe and Barnes & Noble. Jim Lester might want to comment further, but on
teleread he says:

The feature news from Nick, was basically saying that the next version of Content Server (I’d be surprised if the actual version number is 5 btw) will contain the ability to generate ePubs with the password flavor of DRM, so that you could buy these files, not just from B&N, but from any of the 100+ (and growing  ) Content Server customers that decided to offer it.

I think this pretty much guarantees that mobile ADE licensees will implement this option on their new devices (once it is available), and probably even upgrade their existing devices.
