I was just using Edinburgh as an example most English speakers are familiar with. Whilst I would expect software to be familiar with major cities like Edinburgh it is much more unlikely to be able to deal with the pronunciation of all the smaller named objects in OSM. A means of tagging pronunciation, where this is not obvious from the spelling would be a useful addition to osm.
