Of course when you can figure out names that are semantically different, you use the specific tag. But it's not rare that a place has two names that cannot be differentiated by semantic or popularity. In those cases you have alt_name if you're lucky enough to only need one extra name, and name_<number> if you need more values. > There no point in using indexes in key.
