Isn't that what we have atm & where much of the ambiguity stems from?

'official' names appears the correct way to proceed & like others have 
suggested, ignore the 'name=' tag.

Unsure if this United Nations PDF is the most up to date:

Note the difference between 'National' & 'UN' official.

Ideally, every country should have every language name tag, then users 
can pick & choose at will. Unsure how practical that is though.
