Isn't LEET === 1337 pretty standard?

For some reason I used to think that 1337 was LEET upside down.
Bringing up the topic of "leet" actually serves in two capacities: not only is it a prime example of 7=T, but leetspeak's overall orthography [0] is conceptually similar to this "hexwords" site far beyond 7=T.
