I don't think it is reasonable to assume that all users of D have 
to be that knowledgable, or to make it a prerequisite for 
participation.

Yes, and under that assumption all passwords should be created by 
drawing letters from a box an memorized and NEVER be written down 
in any shape or form. And using a paper shredders is quite also 
insufficient for maculating, you should shred, burn and then stir 
the ashes. I know, I learned this in the army as a teletypist.

I don't practice it everywhere though... I think Manu's 
expectations were reasonable. I think it is reasonable to take 
some risk for hobbystuff, an unreasonable to unneccessarily 
increase the risk by storing in the clear for no good reason.
