Comment:

 this ticket #9227 is much more relevant and adapted to the desired
 functional. Even if wp_list_categories(), a filter exists for each three
 parts of one element (name, link, and description). Here, just with adding
 a line like below, the potentialities of adaption are huge :

 As in classes.php (line 1328), I suggest this adapted modif with a filter
 named post_list_cats for the start of two loops present in
 '''get_the_category_list()''' (line 187 et 209)


 {{{
 foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
 $category = apply_filters( 'post_list_cats', $category);
 }}}

 If, as asked in the cited trac, the echo (display) is added in the
 function '''get_the_category_list()''' (with modif inside the_category), a
 second param 'echo' can be passed in this filter.

 Hope this modif will be implemented soon, to built easy plug and play kit
 to transform automatically a well made theme in a theme for iPhone or a
 multilingual theme (without coding by the bloger).
