Also you could make two passes on the text entered- once to pick 
out words/phrases to translate, then to translate individual 
letters.

For example "you" -> "j00", "fear" -> "ph34r", even word 
expansions like "aol" -> "aohell" or whatever.

Also some sort of randomization would be ideal- 1337 speak tends 
to be very irregular. .. just the word "leet" has at least 5 
different accepted spellings.
