This may depend on the specific place but in many places I believe Phil’s interpretation is correct and Andrew’s is inappropriate. Many places and reserves now have joint management or co-ownership, and dual/joint names. Joint names are not alternative names. John Roberts-Smith is John Roberts-Smith. He is not John Roberts and/or alt-name John Smith. The Rock Nature Reserve / Kengal Aboriginal Place is a legislated reserve. This is the legislated name, as described in the management plan and signposted on all new signs. Since OSM maps what is on the ground, we should include the entire joint name in the one name tag. We are not listing alternatives, we are presenting the entire, signposted, legal name in the one tag.
