There is nothing saying what language name=* is, what the failed language=* proposal intended to do. I stated that to do so either language=* would have to be tagged for each name=* or that a default rule like Proposed features/Defaults <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Defaults> should be used but it was answered that this proposal is for speed limits (which is obviously untrue), that it is abandoned (which is a huge mistake), and that language=* needs no defaults (which is untrue too).
I just cannot imagine that, by having no default mechanism, OSM is such that the values of many of its tags are located in various other databases.
