Interesting.  I'd like to see how longer passphrases like are often 
used with GPG hold up.  For example, I often use nonsense poetry that 
contains punctuation, numbers, and uncommon words to devise passphrases 
for GPG keys.  My own anecdotal assessments suggest that they're pretty 
good, but this is hardly rigorous.
