We'll do it.

Maybe :-)  I have picture-based (HTML/PDF) versions, too.

Thank you very much for the suggestion.

We already put some analysis on those, but we'll make it more prominent.
More precisely, loss from the client is really critical (even with a strong password);
Loss from the server is only severe when the password is weak for dictionary attacks.
