Not addressing your point regarding the default, but it's possible to do
this today with:
$MakePageNamePatterns = array(
"/'/" => '',
"/[^-[:alnum:]]+/" => '-', #"/[^$PageNameChars]+/" => '-',
'/((^|[^-\\w])\\w)/e' => "strtoupper('$1')", #'/(.*)/e' =>
"strtolower('$1')",
"/\\s+/" => "$Blogger_TitleSeparator");
I had to change from $PageNameChars, as it seemed to cause an error -- I
didn't spend much time tracking down why.
Also, I tried to convert the title to lower case, (the strtolower) but
hit some problems there as well.
