There's also a few osmarender:renderName in the UK. Maybe check
osmarender:* to collate all?

Never comprehended the reluctance to remove dead items. Does stepping
the version /really/ cause any harm?
Contributors, especially newbies, often copy tags from existing examples
with redundant tags often propagating as result.
We allow everybody to add data (which I agree with), but there's an
increasing resistance to anybody suggesting tag removal.
If it improves database quality, then go for it.

Why would we want to create new versions of objects just to remove a tag
that is not hurting anybody in any way?
The correct way to handle this is to add the tag to the list of
deprecated tags that should be automatically removed (essentially iD has
a list and JOSM has one too), when and if the objects are ever edited
the tags will then be removed.

osmarender:nameDirection=* is an old tag that is case of tagging for
the renderer.
Additionally, Osmarender is defunct anyway.
I propose to purge this tag from database as useless, confusing and
encouraging
tagging for renderer.
This edit would remove about 2000 osmarender:nameDirection=* tags
worldwide,
with most of them in Germany and England.
osmarender:nameDirection is described on OSM Wiki as
"By default Osmarender will draw street names left-to-right along ways.
It uses the longitude (horizontal position) of the start and end
points of the
way to determine the direction.
In some cases, for example, very winding roads, the automatically chosen
name direction is not ideal. In this case the way can be tagged with
osmarender:nameDirection=-1 or osmarender:nameDirection=1 as a
hint to tell Osmarender which way to draw the name. "
