So instead of saying that one "may delete the name:xx tag if it is identical to the name tag" (to reduce bloat, presumably), the multilingual-country-list should encourage to add the name:xx tag in all cases.
I would rather vote for a solution which compares the name tag according to region. So, for Central African Republic the default language is set to french, meaning that name is automatically also becoming name:fr.
Of course, you have some problems with multilingual countries, but most of them have one strongly dominant language (China, USA), or the languages are divided by region (Belgium, Switzerland). If there are some few leftovers which do pose problem (where there is no clearly defined language – e.g. Brussels), one can look for individual solutions for them.
If you recommend to add a redundant name:xx tag, most people will not follow that advice. You would have to do that for every single road, every single shop, every single bus stop. This is not practical. It is much more practical to do it in the renderer.
