[talk-au] Dual naming in NSW

[Ben Ritter]

I agree that in places where a joint name is in use, that should be
documented as `name=Booraghee / Bradleys Head`as. From a data perspective,
I think it is also useful to know that the english called it (in english
spelling) `name:en=Bradleys Head` and the locals called it (in local
romanised spelling) `name:aus=Booraghee`.

I have no great understanding of the languages involved, but I want to see
it as "Booraghee / Bradleys Head" on most maps (because that's part of our
cultural style, as documented in the quoted policy). On the other hand,
when I hook up a routing text-to-speech engine, I'm going to have a much
better time pronouncing the spelling of `name:en` and `name:aus`. Even
better after someone in the know replaces the vague and non-specific `:aus`
form with the actual language(s).
