    You have to keep in mind, though, that this information is not
    strictly part of the geographical characteristics of the way/place,


I would even say that it has nothing to do with a geographic database. OSM is NOT an encyclopedia. OSM is not a substitute of Wikipedia.

I think the intention was to record the specific words on the street-sign rather than general encyclopaedic information about the person who gave his name to the street. That could be legitimate for OSM, do you agree?
