In that case, I'd rather just prefer Gervase's solution of forbidding a
plain name= tag in this bounding box and only allow name:gr name:tr or
whatever. This way the standard slippy map will not show any names
whatsoever and people can still host their own localized maps using
whatever naming scheme they want.
