Comment (by mark-k):

 Maybe go further then that and once the name loses focus use ajax to get
 the slug that will be generated automatically from the server, and fill
 the slug input with it. Similar to what is done for post slugs.

 I think that this is a (minor) bug not an enhancement.

 @smerriman, side note: slugs are not optional but mandatory, it is just
 that the empty slug has a special meaning. Same goes with parent.... IMHO
 all descriptions at that page can be made better.
