I don't agree on this argument where a single edit contributor is insignificant. You are saying that the opinion of one contributor doing 1000 edits is more important than the opinion of 1000 contributors doing 1 edit. But I agree that even if you find active contributors on both local communities, you will never find a consensus. But OSM needs a solution where both names can be found for geocoding and that city can be identified in our maps (yes, it is also a rendering issue). I like David's idea with the specific tag "name:disputed". Then we could apply certain rules in applications using that name (and containing the different versions). If the order is a problem in rendered maps, it could be solved by changing the sequence locally (in the applications side) randomly and/or at fixed time intervals for instance...
