I am not really familiar with the legal status of aboriginal lands in various parts of the world and how use of the names differs betweeen the inside and the outside. I have a hard time imagining an aboriginal land with a distinct and homogeneous language use that is not also an administrative unit. If we could discuss this on a practical (and hopefully somewhat representative) example that would probably help. > > *language:default=<code>* would have the code as the "value" in the > key=value pair > > Examples: > > *language:default=de* would be used on the admin_level=2 boundary for > Germany > *language:default=fr;nl *could be used on the administrative boundary > for Brussels > *language:default=zh;zh_pinyin* could be used in China, if the local > community wants to show the romanized name along with the Chinese > characters I am not sure what exactly this tag is supposed to mean. Is it just the format string i suggested indicating the locally preferred form of name display minus the actual form, i.e. reduced to a list of component names or is it something different? And how is the data user supposed to interpret this tag? Since you do not want to deprecate the name tag it is not clear to me if it is supposed to be interpreted in combination with the plain, possibly compund name tag or with the individual language name tags. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
