I'm not sure why you are opposed to using the raw post data. You can 
see the entire form the person submitted in $_POST, and it's a 
legitimate way to figure out what's going on in post-save-related hook 
functions.

You might also look at the sanitize_title filter. That lets you 
influence the default slug, without overwriting if someone has 
manually edited the slug (probably a good thing to leave manual edits 
alone).
