Comment(by demetris):

 @westi:

 I did not say this should be changed any more for 2.8.

 Also, your current patch with the sanitizer is clearly better that what
 2.7 did (littering the document with unusable class names).

 However, while offering an option that only works with ASCII characters
 might be acceptable for Sandbox, which is just a third-party theme, it
 should be unacceptable for the core of WordPress.

 So, this should not be viewed as something that can be enhanced, but as a
 bug that should be fixed.

 @Denis:

 Up to when I asked my question, there were two alternatives discussed:

 1. Getting class names from term slugs (what Sandbox and WP 2.7 do)

 2. Getting class names from term IDs (what lilyfan suggested)

 I asked about the feasibility of a *third* option:

 3. Getting class names from term *names*
