I think including a "slash" character in a name tag is really ugly. That's not the way that the GNB record them. Unless someone can find some information on the ground that records it that way?
I understand the desire to not diminish either name when they are dual named, but I think it's wrong to think of alt_name as a "lesser" name. Alternative means just that, it's an equally valid, but alternative name. It's looks like exactly the type of scenario envisioned by the tag. IMO it's a bad outcome to end up with multiple names in one tag separated by a slash. Ian.
