I believe it's actually debated what language name= should be in,
possibly settling on International English or at least
<http://osm.org>osm.org is inteded to display international names.
There was a discussion on dealing with country names which is
probably generally applicable. I believe the general consensus would
be like this:
name=<name in Hebrew, Hebrew script>
name:he=<name in Hebrew, Hebrew script>
int_name=<name in English, Romanic script>
Anyway, I think it's good to encourage lots of different language maps.
