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.
