The attribution is misleading. While xkcd has popularized this way of
getting password, it was previously known as diceware:
http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html
It would be nice to mention that.
Also, the provided list of words is quite large and may use long words
and derivative which may make the password more complicate to
memorize. For example, there are both "acknowledgment" and
"acknowledgement". The original list of words from diceware is 7776
words long which provides a 90bit security for a 7-word passphrase.
