Seems you would need a Cartesian product to cover all possibilities
(what about NegL3ctEd):

1 = nN
2 = eE3
3 = gG6
4 = lL17|
5 = eE3
6 = cC[
7 = tT+7
8 = eE3
9 = dD

Depending on you definition of leet, the sets may be bigger than what I
listed above, but you would want a CP of those sets to fully enumerate
the word "neglected" I think. I'm not sure JTR does this.
