Of course, there's always the one, that's why I said "most" :) I guess my implicit expectation was that official_name is only necessary if it differs from name (whatever the language). Otherwise, osm would be lttered with official_name for everything. One tag that might be worth adding in every case is source:name=logainm. On top of crediting logainm, it'll serve as a warning to would-be name-changing contributors that they probably need to compose their work with this source. > > Rory > -- > Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
