+1 (it's actually "official_name") - and "name" allows for rendering of the 
default name - unless that's disputed and the "name" tag is empty (more 
commonly in multilingual areas you will find several languages together in the 
same default "name" tag).

official_name and name:lang tags are the least disputed, it's "name" where most 
of the problems are (in some regions): some people insist on putting only 
official names into the "name" tag, others insist in on the ground names like 
those written on signs, or those used by the locals. 

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
