I was.  What are you going to call an AED in any language?  If you have 
an "A", an "E", and a "D" sound in your language, that's what it will be 
(unless you're French, "DAE", or Spanish, "DEA").  Besides, putting 'aed' in 
a tag does not mean that 'aed' should appear when it's rendered.  Only the 
definition is important, and English is commonly used in OSM for that.  Once 
someone has tagged something as 'aed' (since that is what it *is*), you can 
render it any way you like.

Here are some examples from Japan:

How shall we tag a vending machine with an AED storage compartment?
