Hi!

Ok, basically I understand the difference between "local" and "regional".

But actually I thought that this/these tags are used for names of
entities which are used by locals (in contrast to the official name of
something).

In this case, having two such tags would imply that there are locals who
call an entity by loc_name. And that there are other locals which are
"not so local" as the previous ones (not living directly there) which
call the same entity "reg_name".

Is that correct?

Yes.

Those two keys just provide a means of tagging additional names. The 'name' key should always be used. Additionally, you are free to use either 'loc_name' or 'reg_name", or both of them.
