In some long ago posts I made to these forums, I suggested using the corpora that the linguists compile, from actually used phases. Then more recently, at those password conferences, researchers like joshdustin and IT3700 presented how mining online sources like Wikipedia and Project Gutenberg yield popular phases that people are more likely to use as the basis for pass phrases.
The "secret sauce" I don't know is how to rank known phrases in their likelihood to become passwords.
My belief is that already existent phases are more likely to be used than random words thrown together.
I have posted requests here for more info from those doing those types of attacks.
