>> We're required to publish official road names
As a crowd sourced community project shouldn't things be tagged according
to the community consensus?  As part of that community, the NPS has an
important voice, but so do others.  I am not saying that the proposed
tagging is inappropriate, but I don't think "we are required..." should be
the reason.  A couple of options that I see:
1) Work to reach a consensus with the community - best.  Hopefully we are
close, but see caveat below.
2) NPS maintain a separate db of their official names which they link by
ID.  Problematic because links are likely to get broken.
3) Have a tag like "nps_name"

Caveat: Even you you start with the official name in the name tag, a local
mapper may change it to match the signs.
