I totally agree. But I prefer not to enter the same name twice, but to "point" the name tag to the name:lang. We should not be tagging for the renderer, but that is actually happens with name tags in Israel. I mainly use the name tag, since I want to see the name rendered, then spot mistakes etc. I sometimes add a name:he, sometimes not. Sometimes I spot problems and only fixes the name tag, forgetting the name:he... The feature I've inquired about could help ensure a little more data integrity.
