Situation: there is a city where all the streets are named (using the

Some of the names are official (recognized by the city hall, by law,

Is there a way to differentiate official names from non-official?

Using only official_name in the recognized streets won't make sense.
Using name + official_name, both with the same exact value, won't also
make sense I guess.

Do anybody know a good way to say that some streets are officially
named, please?

For the streets named but not officially recognized, maybe something
like name=* + name:official=no perhaps? (where name:official defaults to
yes if not specified)

Please don't. First, this is kind of troll-tagging, first declaring something a name and in the next line denying it. Second, the "name:*" namespace is declared for real names (name:LL and name:left|right), not for additional attributes.

Thus it would be better to use a key describing what the particular name actually is. If it is a name locally or regionally used, then we have loc_name and reg_name.
