The question was wether use a container or not. The <else> code is
choosen because other modules behave in the same way (like vform and
emit). If I choose a container, and login fails the module should not
execute it's contents. If I don't use a container, there needs to be
some kind of mechanism to check if the credentials match or not
using solmnly an if-plugin would be weird at best, a redirect tag would
work however but can also limit the webprogrammers freedom.

I think that this would rule out the container variant
