[Talk-ca] Bilingual operator names

[Sam Vekemans]

Some would argue that including a 'space' and forward slash '/' and
French name, to be all on the same line.
(some datasets do this)
and others would argue that 'french rendermap' should show all french.


..... so it's osm, it's not perfect ... so just check out another
federal facility that has french and copy :)


Some would argue that we need a 'strict set of rules' ... and others
argue 'free form rules with the masses and loudest' :)



cheers,
sam
