Besides, I actually think that adding the "redundant" name:XX tag is
actually simpler than modifying the code of many renderers to take
something completely new into account. On the other hand, it should be
very easy to check that "if a place has at least one name:xx tag, it
should also have one that matches the name tag" either inside the
editor or via a bot.
Not sure about that.
Up to know (as far as I know) some areas of the world decided to use a
combination of two languages or name transcriptions in the name tag,
like Japan [1] or Brussels [2]. A bot would contradict a working local
community decision here, why I would oppose to automatically enforce
that by a bot or to show that as en error by default.
This might change as soon as the most prominent/important osm maps like
our mapnik rendering support setting the language like in Jochens
Multilingual Map project, but up to then it's IMHO a bad idea to enforce
tag wars in multilanguage areas due to "bugs" raised by some bot that
tries to enforce a name:xx being equal to name.
