[OSM-talk-be] Streets with two names

I'm not in favour of this. Since the road, at least mine in Ypres, is a
road with just one lane, where you can go where you want. It would be the
same like splitting buildings because there are more than one shop in it,
instead of using POI to note the shops in the building. Splitting ways will
cause weird rendering problems and routing problems. What we need is a
tagging schema to allow double names. Maybe something like

name=Ieperleestraat-Neerstraat
name:left=Ieperleestraat
name:right=Neerstraat
