Not sure how change proposed in the second paragraph solves what
you mentioned in the first.

It also goes against established meaning of loc_name

loc_name:en is for English local name of a tree, not for English name of its species
(this is rarely used as local names are rarely in multiple languages, but
there is no benefit from breaking this definition and mostly
systematic tag variants for names)
