It has the advantage that the passwords it generates are pronounceable (usually!) by speakers of English; this makes them easier for me to remember, and hopefully for others as well. (My memory for spelling is closely tied to my memory for pronunciation; if I remember the pronunciation, I've got the spelling, but *not* vice-versa.) ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
