I'm trying not to flame, troll or to start a flamewar.

Exactly; so it could be good, as I suggested in my first email to serve different tile contents based on different geographical positions. I think we can pragmatically say that the original developers have different cultural backgrounds and we need to address the issue with localization in mind. So from my point of view it could be every interesting for lets say country X, to serve symbols and names that are accepted in country X as the defacto symbols, and have the appropriate translations for countrynames, rivers, etc. Looking at the current events on 'map capturing' and 'renaming' of certain areas it might be a very valid point just to allow different views on the matter.
