For the Zoniënwoud, it should be observed that it is located on several
cities and regions.<br>
Path naming should also follow the rules for the region or city where
they are located.<br>
- Brussels - Oudergem, Bosvoorde, Ukkel, Woluwe : bilingual Fr- Nl<br>
- Wallonia - Waterloo, La Hulpe : Fr<br>
- Flanders - Hoeilaart, Overijse, Tervuren : Nl<br>
- Flanders - St-Genesius-Rode (facilities) : Nl - Fr<br>
<br>

oh .. I see , that probably goes to my google mail address, a bit of a

I only check that sporadically

The tool I made would pick that up and flag it, I only corrected about
3% (99%-96%). It just made sense to further unify the data that way and
match the wiki page, didn't give it much thought hence failed to raise
this issue to the list.
I believe it's better this way as the former rule seemed to be a
political motivated one, and that has no place in OSM. We should
refrain from making those types of decisions.
Like you, I don't care french is first , dutch is second, as long as it
is done consistently. It makes the map look good.
In that regard, I am desperately looking for a quality resource on
street names in BXL, and I need one that is written exactly how it
should be written.
I used a document that was very complete but I failed to understand the
spelling rules in french language (I was always taught that capitals
aren't accented but apparently there are notable exceptions, one of them
applies to streetnames).
I was educated on the subject by Yves (bxl-forever). I stopped my edits
at once and still need to roll back some of those accent problems, but I
need a street list first, when I have one, I can incorporate it in the
tool, that would be an awesome feature to have.
Sorry for not being more forthcoming on this, I didn't expect this
impact on us.
That Q/A tool would help you find the problem if it exists, I downloaded
zonienwoud to an osm file but it seems that a packages I use (medoo) has
been broken since I last used it. I have to fix the source code first.
