I have a suggestion, you may want to test substitute things like "!" as
a substitute for "l" or "i".
Have you thought about vowels being dropped and K/c substitutions. I
have a password which I would consider a worthless password the way you
are scoring them which depends on these two transformations. I'll be
happy to e-mail it to Todd directly if he wants to look at it and
consider how to detect (of course that may start to become hard to ever
find a password, for things like this, the weakness may depend on
context [i.e. what is the account being used for, or what are the
person's interests]).
