Surface leakage would occur on the outside of the diode package. I guess it could be minimised by encapsulating the diode so the path from end to end was longer.

use eg axial diode and coat it to reduce surface leakage...the internal leakage in the rev biased semiconductor is always more than any surface leakage, and dwarfs it into significance, as you know.
