Thanks for explaining. I think that I understand more now. I just took a peek
at bug 11401 and https://lanekortet.no/ (thanks Google Translate). 

I wonder why they don't use something like LDAP or use SSO. Inertia maybe. 

I still think how the NNPDB works is bizarre but I understand the rationale.
