[OSM-talk-be] Lang usages and modifications in BXL

[Gerard Vanderveken]

Agreed on 'first come, first set'.

But one could make an exception for things that by their nature have a 
French or Flemish character, eg schools or institutions that are 
dependent on one of the Communities or Regions, maybe also associations 
or companies that have only signs in one language, .... For such POI you 
could argue that depending on the case NL or FR should come first.
Maybe a note tag as eg 'Governed by the ..... Community' could be added 
to explain.

When a name is stated only in one language, one can add after a ' - '  
the second language and then also both name:nl and name:fr tags.

User RoRay is (ignorent or deliberatly) out of line. I will send him a 
PM too.

Regards,
Gerard
