In the long run, either everyone will use the github project set of
presets and we can kiss the JOSM ones with all their hand-curated
translation goodness goodbye, or everyone will keep using the JOSM
presets becasue they are simply better. Who knows what will happen.

One of my primary goals with common presets idea is a common translation pool, because I'd like to have consistent names across the project, as I wrote on the beginning of this thread - in other languages too. I feel we need more than just common tagging - presets make it less visible for average mapper, which is good and expected (BTW: without it translation would be impossible, because we store British English-based names directly in our database), but with this new level of abstraction we end up with unexpected naming fragmentation.

The names can be locally altered if developers need it (because there can be some corner cases as usual), but in general they should use the common naming scheme and translations. In the best case we could have the same naming and translations also on Wiki and in the object explorer on the main site ("?" button), so it's not just a problem with editing software and just English names.
