<div>I believe the official term is "Embassy of the United
States of America", & the others are really just
different ways of naming the same thing. I would think that
"The Embassy" is "The Embassy" everywhere? (allowing for
translation into other languages of course) <br>

<div>Nup, they're Embassies here as well, except, of course,
for the High Commissions of other Commonwealth countries!
Which I know sort of negates what I just said, but High
Commissions are still tagged in OSM as Embassies eg <a

moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/136580733</a></div>

<div>But on that, I just noticed <a
href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/136583151"
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/136583151</a>.
Shouldn't the primary name usually be shown in the local
language ie en, with it's "home" language being an
alt_name/s, in this case name:de, fr & nl (or should
that be "be"?)?<br>

<p>Yes the 'name' tag should be in the local language.</p>
<p>Looks to have been changed some 3 years ago by a Belgian, who has
done a few more elsewhere in the world. <br>
