[OSM-talk] Old names

[David Janda]

Hello Talk

I need your input with regard to old names of places - plural.

It appears to me that the name_old tag is meant for one name. But what to do if there are several? I am against the idea of name_old1 name_old2 and so on as these names I am refering to are in many cases so old that the order is not known.

So it would appear that I use name_old and put all the historic names in there. What separator should I use?

Your thoughts please.
