    I would agree with leaving NASA out of the name=* tag as we
    similarly don't name Fort Meade as ''United States Army Fort
    George G. Meade'' [0].

that's a lot of tags, but so far there's no way besides looking at wikipedia to see that it's run by the army. I think you would improve the tagging to add official_name="United States Army Fort George G. Meade'' and operator=*


No.

Use the 'operator=' to add the NASA, US Army etc, the 'name=' should only be the name!

We don't use road names to include reference designations (e.g. Macquarie Drive B87 is 'name=Macquarie Drive' 'ref=B87' not 'name=Macquarie Drive (B87)' ... so we should not use names to include operators.
