Contrary<br /> to what you said, it should only be used if it is explicitly defined as<br /> an option for that particular key. To introduce such a convention to an<br /> old and widely used set of tags is not easy and requires a broad<br /> consensus, not a quick wiki page change.<br /></blockquote><br />There was a discsussion on the talk/imports lists recently (September,<br />subject "Proposed mechanical edit to convert alt_name tags") where it<br />seemed to me that the consensus was to indeed have a semicolon-delimited<br />list of names in alt_name, instead of having alt_name_1, alt_name_2 etc.<br />like initially suggested in that thread.<br /><br />Bye<br />Frederik<br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
