The proposal includes a plan for alt_name tags. Unfortunately, only one of those is supported, while several may be listed just in the data set. We are very open for constructive suggestions, what I presented is just the (my) summary of the ongoing discussion. > yes, that is fine, but you can mostly assume that what is in the db is > already what locals had thought to be the best name > so overwriting this with the values of a central database is not very osm > style and should not be done. Naming is indeed a delicate issue. I think following established consensus is generally more in the spirit of OSM than first come first serve.
