Do you mean "common-dictionary word" or "dictionary common-word"?  The
latter would include, I believe, words like:  at, is, an, then, there,
etc., etc.

If it's the former, then I think that is too restrictive.

I'd also make a statement exempting traditional unix commands.

Other than that, it seems a good goal.
