> what name should a global datause for an object without name=* ? I take the proposal to mean that the database itself doesn't *need* to choose a name. Name choices are for renderers, which can be opinionated, but that the database itself can be neutral if we simply include the names in multiple languages and leave it at that. I think that's a good idea and an important evolution of tagging names that matches how the community expects other features of the database to behave (e.g. don't tag for the renderer).
If your question was about a "global data user" and not a "global database", I think my point still applies - having the database make the decision for data users is a worse result in my mind than making data users at least decide they're choosing a single language, or pick and choose by region. They can also do what OpenStreetmap Americana does and let map users choose the language they want rendered, though that's only one approach to the problem (one I happen to like). -Nick On Sun, Jul 30, 2023 at 10:47 AM Marc_marc <marc_m...@mailo.com> wrote: > Le 30.07.23 à 18:52, Brian M.
