this whole "official name" story isn't completely obvious either. Who is the entity to decide on the name? What if different "official" entities have different ideas about it? E.g. in Italy it's up to the municipality (I think) to decide on the street names. The municipal council will have assigned the names in the past, but now there is another entity, the national agency for statistics, who has decided on the details of orthography in street names - nationwide, and the lists they publish follow these rules. The local councils should make new laws to change the names accordingly, but not all have done so. And even if they had, they will not have changed all signs (too expensive), but what is on the ground is quite important for us in osm, because it's what our users will find on the ground.
