Yes. I propose some form of "generic (PDF) sanitizer"
which gets called before the placebookmarks but can be configured
anywhere in the TeX source (and thus needs to be saved to the
auxiliary file). Something like:

\startPDFsanity
    commandname        {expansion in PDF form}
    anothercommandname {another expansion}
    andsoon            {and so forth}
\stopPDFsanity

You could even define sanitizer as a class and then have PDF
sanitizers, PS sanitizers etc, all with a common interface like
the above.
