Maybe not. The charter does not say "every other topic cannot even be 
mentioned": instead, the charter limits the topics that are meant to be fully 
covered by the protocols.

Personally, I would prefer to see the threat model document say in the 
introduction "the following topics are considered to be BGP security threats 
but are not dealt with in this document:" followed by a list that includes 
route leakage (with a concise definition of what is meant by it in this 
context). A similar statement in the Security Considerations section would also 
be useful for the people who tend to skip introductions but still need to know 
the limitations of the document.
