it is just names, it doesn’t matter for me which one is first. Or 
default_language. 

I’m interested in the way it works. Are there multiple values allowed? Is the 
order important? If yes, how to deal with rtl and ltr mixed? What are the 
criteria for adding it (e.g. is there a minimum percentage?)? Can we agree that 
this is orthogonal to official language(s)? What about locally common formats 
to separate different languages in (multilingual) names, shall we have a 
different tag for this?

A general problem with codified defaults is that potential changes in the 
future to the default are hard to realize, maybe for local languages this is 
less important though, because a change would imply other big changes (peoples 
moving) that the local mapping community would completely change as well.

Cheers,
Martin
