Ok. Replaced "leak" by "reveal".

    When the mobile node sends a registration request to the i-HA from an
    untrusted network that does not go through the IPsec tunnel, it will
    reveal the i-HA's address, its own identity including the NAI and the
    home address, and the Authenticator value in the authentication
    extensions to the untrusted network.  This may be a concern in some
    deployments.
