Comment(by hakre):

 I just wanted to add my own opinion, please do not feel offended about
 that. It was just a suggestion, not the way to go. I should have been
 written that more clearly.

 WordPress is not that strict about escaping and encoding and proper
 handling of such Issues so it *might* be a good Idea to just reduce the
 number of allowed chars for things like tags, categories, names, slugs
 etc. pp.. This is the thought behind what I've  been written.

 It's totally clear that this has implications on a current usage with
 those chars in those names.
