[Talk-nz] Place names

[Mike Kittridge]

well...now that I'm actually looking at the wiki page in more detail...it
really does seem to emphasize that the "name" tag should be what's "on the
ground".
I take back what I said before...reluctantly...because I would have
preferred it be the official name according to the gazetteer, but there is
an "official_name" tag that can be used for that purpose.
