There are times when I'd like to not save passwords in one portion of a site (an
admin interface for example), but save passwords in another portion of a site (a
user application).  Both reside on the same host.  From what I've seen, this is
not possible.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
It appears that the ability to save passwords applies to an entire host, not a
URL.  The interpretation of the word "site" is unclear because a web site
doesn't have to start at http://www.domain.tld/ - it can start at a directory
off it.

Expected Results:  
Should be able to specify don't save passwords for a URL or a host based on a
specific decision.
