Admittedly, all this is more related to sub-country names (places, streets, etc) than to country names, maybe we should extend the scope of this discussion to place names in general? cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
