Seems like the right answer to me. There are lots of things that would benefit from this scheme: default speed limits, driving on left/right, default access rights, etc etc... >Often, there is no sharp dividing line between one language area and another So those areas should specify languages explicitly. Very many countries have a single official language. Asking every mapper to add this extra tag, rather than just the ones where it could be ambiguous, doesn't make sense. I have no idea if anyone's interested in implementing the "default" system though.
