Is that right?  I'd assumed the name tag was used for the "common  
local name" as per the wiki.  So name can be the name in the local  
language.  I've been using name:en for the English name where that  
differs from the local language name.

NB http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name says
"you can use the local script for the default name tag" which implies  
that name need not be in English.
