This Issue might supercede this one: 372: Consider simple, obvious, visible way to delete an account w/o first signing in

In the Account Manager page, there is no obvious method for fully deleting an "account".

I can see my list of emails associated with this "account".
Actually, what I really see is a "table" titled "Your Accounts"
with a list of emails associated with this password.

This is already confusing, because, out of practice with other sites (associating multiple emails with one ISP account for example), I see my BrowserID "account" as a collection of emails with one password.

This wording takes the view of a user having a set of emails associated with a single password (which is a good thing).

Regardless of the text, it is not obvious what I can do to eliminate my "account" or my password and all its emails.

It's a fairly straightforward UI flow to delete an email, although is an "Edit" button the most clear approach?
What else can we do but delete a email?
There are no other "edit"-like steps we can take other than Remove and email, so not sure of the wording here.
To me, "Edit" means a menu of possible changes that could be made.
No matter...

It is unclear what happens if I Remove all emails.
(see separate issue)

It is also unclear what really happens to my "data" in the beer site, my password, my emails.
