Comment:

 Tested and did a little js cleanup in [attachment:13821.diff]. The
 disabling works for the OK button that is supposed to close the status
 area, however, the user can still update or save the post, so:

 1. Publish a private post
 1. Set the visibility to password protected, don't type in a password
 1. Hit Update, your post is now public

 We can either disable the Update/Publish/Save button just like we do with
 OK, or we can revert the post status to whatever was chosen previously
 (private in the above case) upon post save/publish, if the password was
 blank. I like reverting better than disabling buttons. Thoughts?
