Great question! That's an extremely good idea, although I haven't seen this done either. I'm sure someone's already implemented Levenshtein distance calculators in various programming languages.

Something definitely to look into. It's no worse than checking if the password is known, as long as the required Levenshtein distance is balanced, but not sure what that would be.
