 For now the slugs are a good source for this data because they are close
 to the sanitised value as an endpoint as they have been reduced down to
 ascii + %encoding of other chars.  We can easily strip out the %encoded
 ones and return a simple ascii version for a good 80% of names.

 When we have a better solution for speedily producing names in other
 character sets we can revisit the source data for the sanitisation.
