This is probably too late in the discussion, and I certainly don't
want to derail any standard being formed. But if it is controversial,
I want to offer my own suggestion.

This is a proposal I wrote a year ago, but never spent enough work to
push it as a standard:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=102349.0

It needs some work, but I believe it may be a base for a superior
system than what is being proposed here. As the scheme linked above
has built-in configurable difficulty and checksums, the word set being
used doesn't need to function for checking anymore. You could use any
dictionary/language/text generator, and feed it into the system - the
software on the other side doesn't need to use the same dictionary.

The disadvantage is of course that it cannot encode arbitrary data -
it can only be used to generate a random seed. It does have some
theoretical advantages, though (see link).
