URL Slugs in Javascript (with UTF-8 and Transliteration Support)
/**
* Create a web friendly URL slug from a string.
*
* Requires XRegExp (http://xregexp.com) with unicode add-ons for UTF-8 support.
*
* Although supported, transliteration is discouraged because
* 1) most web browsers support UTF-8 characters in URLs
* 2) transliteration causes a loss of information
