I have only used the source tag to refer to the source of the location
info, not the name.
Oops.
I should probably record the source of the name. It seems to be an
evolving standard that when there are two values for a tag, they are colon
separated. So, I would suggest using
source=survey:historical
source_ref=GPS:http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/online/maps.cfm
for a GPS route, with historically defined names from the Sydney Metro
Detailed Survey stuff..
But - I am open to any better suggestions.
Ian.
