As mentioned by Paul earlier in this thread, it looks like you already put
together a pretty solid draft two years ago
name must be only one name of course faild with bilingual area.
of course local communities have the rules that apply to this situation
and try to impose a single rule on the world will fail
but Andry's message seems imho a good idea :
having only-one rule that can be used everywhere is better

Andy,
Can you please elaborate a bit on the reason for your question ?
Is it because you want a map with a uniform syntax for multiple names ?
I assume it is not because humans do not understand the meaning of
one of the following forms Biel / Bienne, Biel/Bienne, Biel - Bienne,
Biel (Bienne)
Or
For cities there must be a point associated to the polygon to tell where
the center is (maybe 2 if the city is poly centric, like Budapest maybe ?)

I think that location=underwater is more exact that surface=water. With the

I prefer the slash, because hyphens occur in names, while I haven’t yet

Osmose generates an error if you use a slash. I don't see consistency as an
advantage. It's a local decision.
If the names use different writing systems (as in the HK example) a space
is sufficient.
Slashes do occur in names, but surely more rarely than embedded hyphens. I
think the spaced
It's mostly our names did have hyphens, but none had hyphens with spaces
around them. Annoyingly we still get in trouble for those cases where both
sides of the street have different names... They exist, but they are rare
enough not to cause real headaches.

what about natural=clearing? I don’t see “clearing” as a landcover value that
suits. Landcover is about what is there physically, “clearing” is about the
absence of what was there before.

I suspect that the different punctuation marks on OSM are a
consequence of different writing habits in the respective regions,
which i recommend to follow.
For example, in English-speaking regions and in Switzerland the slash
without spaces is used (e.g. Biel/Bienne), unless one of the two names

Osmose could be fixed, I don’t see it has any authority on what is correct or
not, it is just a tool to help you find situations where something might

I don’t know what situation you are referring to,
Other mappers and me are just an absolute minimum, negligible part of
the whole community. Until this is not included in the wiki, it is
hardly known by anyone.

I also agree with the location tag as it say it is underwater, while the
other method say that the path is made of "water" (as it would be made of
gravel or asphalt in other places).
Note that the tag layer=-1 don't mean anything by itself (if there is no
other data at the same location) as it is

-1 to surface water, because surface is about the surface of the path.
I would also go with location=underwater

My understanding was that the discussion is about when both names are
indicated on the name signs and no definite preference is clear. The
method of exactly representing the sign (just copy the string) fails
because usually the names are given as two strings or even as two signs.
