Hi,

In France, we have a strong misuse of this tag. Some people are using it instead of name=*. Maybe due to a lack of translation in Potlatch because "désignation" in French is a synonym of name. It is also used instead of note=*.

For instance :

building = school
name = Maison de la Petite Enfance
designation = Crèche

indeed, amenity=kindergarten.

osmose [1] show a warning for designation use.
