One of my primary goals with common presets idea is a common translation 
pool, because I'd like to have consistent names across the project, as I 
wrote on the beginning of this thread - in other languages too. I feel 
we need more than just common tagging - presets make it less visible for 
average mapper, which is good and expected (BTW: without it translation 
would be impossible, because we store British English-based names 
directly in our database), but with this new level of abstraction we end 
up with unexpected naming fragmentation.

The names can be locally altered if developers need it (because there 
can be some corner cases as usual), but in general they should use the 
common naming scheme and translations. In the best case we could have 
the same naming and translations also on Wiki and in the object explorer 
on the main site ("?" button), so it's not just a problem with editing 
software and just English names.
