That doesn't give it more sense :)

Actually, the UtilityNamesVocabulary *is* an improvement over any other 
vocabulary implementation we have so far because it respects that tokens 
can only be ASCII. Other vocabularies (SimpleVocabulary, 
UtilityVocabulary) are lacking this still.

Given that this is easily fixable the way ASCII tokens are generated 
already in Fred's new vocabulary, I think we should rather converge the 
vocabularies with the existing, almost identical functionality. 
Reinventing the whell isn't something we need.
