Why not thrown in numerics too? That way you are absolutely sure that no-
one will be able to remember a password constructed to such rules (that is 
provide they can come up with one...) 

If it is too complicated, people will defy it by noting the "strong" 
password on a Post-It(tm). Bye-bye, security.
