This language=en tag would be placed on a administrative relation, right? Note that it would work only in places with single language, and even in very homogeneous countries, with single culture there are some correctly tagged objects with name tag in a different languages. So it would be anyway necessary to supply name:en to names that are in English to confirm that this names are really in English. This method would also not work at all in places with more complex language situation (multiple communities, each using local language). On top of that it is a bit complicated to use as a data consumer. Overall I am not convinced that it is a good replacement.
