So, my questions to you are
I think there is a broad concensus
1. The concrete question: Should all name tag in the Crimea be in
Russian (with
appropriate name:uk tags of course), even though the official
language in
Ukraine is Ukrainian?
The raw name= tag shows what will be seen standing at the location.
It would help if there was also a lang=xx so we know what IS being used!
Again: I'm against lang for that purpose.
Examples:
name=London
lang=en
name:de=London
compared to:
name=London
name:en=London
name:de=London
Benefits:
- There aren't more tags involved,
- It's less error prone or better: it's equally error prone, but better
to detect errors, as in the first alternative it's not possible to
detect an error, if anyone only changes lang to any other language.
- Backward-compatibility to name is identical - just use it.
- Editor software could support it by enforcing users to add a language
for the name-attribute.
regards
Peter
P.S.: I know that this does not solve the variants where more than one
name is set to the name tag now, but I would leave that to other tags -
e.g. name:format=ru - cr - en (de)
