Sven, your approach makes sense assuming people only look at maps of
their own country.
Not true. It makes sense wherever you are. Official:name allows a
rendering of official names of that country & individual 'names:*='
allows rendering for specific languages.
Yes, I agree its respectful to people living in a non english speaking
country but really does not address a much larger problem.
As a native English speaker, I often turn to OSM to help me understand
some of the global issues around at present. But even now, many of the
place names are rendered in local language, quite unreadable to me.
I'm unsure why you believe one sample rendering which doesn't suit your
requirements negates what Sven is proposing.
