> It's essentially squashing one of the appealing aspects of OpenStreetMap's individuality in favour of unintentionally reinforcing some low-level cultural imperialism - i.e. the notion that the lingua franca of open source software is always American English.

I can empathize with this.  I don't enjoy feeling like my culture is getting pushed onto others.  I'd be perfectly happy to have an en_US localization that isn't the default if the maintainers want and are able to set things up this way.
