[Tagging] Tagging of Country Names

[Colin Smale]

Are you talking about the "default map", or the underlying data (i.e.
the contents of name and name:xx tags)? This is the wrong place to
discuss rendering of the default map, and I thought this thread was
about the contents of the name tag. It is probably not a good idea to
discuss rendering choices here as this could look like advocacy for
"tagging for the renderer" - adjusting the data to produce the desired
result.
