Isn't that what we have atm & where much of the ambiguity stems from?
I don't think so, at least not where Sven wants to change it.
'official' names appears the correct way to proceed & like others
have suggested, ignore the 'name=' tag.
if we go with "official" we will always be on the side of the
powerful, and we will completely ignore other aspects. Take the Basque
area as example, it is not long ago, that only French and Spanish
(according to the side you are looking at) were officially recognized,
we would have completely ignored the native Basque population with
this rule.
Also, if you write "official language", would this include recognized
minority languages? Should we have a different tag for this?
See here for example about the only one "official language" in France
and other relevant languages:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_policy_in_France
Rather than ignore the most frequently used name tag I would try to
refine it ... at the moment the osmwiki says "the primary tag used for
naming an element" and then later on "the common default name. (Note:
For disputed areas, please use the name as displayed on e.g. street
signs for the name tag. Put all alternatives into either localized name
tags (e.g. name:tr/name:el) or the variants (e.g.
loc_name/old_name/alt_name). Thank you.) "
Perhaps "The local, commonly used, name of a feature."
-----------------
There are already many variations of the name tag .. including one
'official'.
