Is there any clarification about the difference between loc_name and
reg_name?
in which sense? Both tags are used for alternative names, local is
smaller/narrower in scope than regional, conceptually
You may want a definition of 'local' and 'regional'.
That varies across the globe.
When a 'local' cop in Birdsville, Australia has a beat the size of the
UK you may understand the difficulty of defining 'local'.
Best left fuzzy to adapt for the place, with 'local' being a smaller
area than 'regional'.
Ok of course, but the size of the entity to be named isn't determined by
the name-tag I choose rather than e.g. by place=hamlet/city/..., isn't it?
The size of the OSM feature is determined by its tags and the area.
The definition of the areas of 'local' and 'regional' for name:loc and name:reg
is a matter of where that OSM feature is in the world.
Regional is always larger than local, for OSM.
