visitors.

the world can't read it.
One of the reasons I don't mind is: who would possibly use it? People in
Nunavut, that's who. It should be as accessible to t
Hello Canadian mappers!
The node and relation for Nunavut are
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/305700700 and
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/390840 . The "name" of both of
these is currently set to a composite of the Inuktitut and the
Anglo/French name. Is this OK?
