That's pretty sane <i>general</i> assumption, but rules can have <i>specific</i>
corner cases, like these. Note that nobody has added
name:en=Llanymynech - it's only name=Llanymynech, see: <br>

<br>
In this case local knowledge is probably to <b>not add</b>
name:en=*. The data consumer has no "en" value to render (let's talk
about rendering for example), so she can fall back to just name=*
value - or just skip it, if she wants to show only English names
(why not?).<br>
<br>
What I propose is to have some general assumptions, but in specific
cases these can be overriden (like official_name=cy for example) or
ommited (if not applicable - for example we don't know the language
or we don't have time to add so specific data and name=* is enough).<br>
