Comment (by jhodgdon):

 As another point in favor of slugs on the "create new" sections, I believe
 that single-language users of WP who write in Chinese, Japanese, and other
 non-url-friendly languages also create slugs for their categories and
 tags, since otherwise the URLs are a string of %02%83 etc and totally
 unreadable. So I do think that slugs are useful to a fairly wide audience.
 It's not a huge deal, but having slugs on the Create New sections would
 allow these users to get the full benefit of those sections of the post
 edit screen.

 I would also only suggest adding a slug field to a new, separate "create a
 new tag" expandable area, and the existing "Add New Category" area, not to
 the existing "Add a tag" field. Agreed: it would be way too tricky to deal
 with multiple tags and multiple slugs.

 Anyway, if you don't want slugs in those sections, then we can just tell
 all multilingual and non-European-language bloggers to use the Manage
 Tag/Category screens whenever they create new tags or categories.
