[Tagging] Title of maps (information=map)

[Peter Neale]

Jumping in late in the discussion (sorry), "title=*" seems appropriate to me.

You are right, inscription seems to be an inappropriate term for
titles. If we want to use a more appropriate tag for titles, it makes
more sense to use "title" or something similar.

How do we want to proceed? If i've counted correctly, five of us
(including me) would prefer another tag and five think that "name" is
fine. Would some of you that wrote that "name" is fine also be fine
with a new tag "title" or similar?

If we use name=*, then by that reasoning street signs could be tagged with name=<name of street>, and city limit signs could be tagged with name=<name of city>. 
I am fine with title=*
