No doubt you'll need a pronouce tag for every name tag there is on the
node, to cater for things like Wenen/Wien/Vienna. And Den Haag/'s
Gravenhage/The Hague.

SAMPA is useless by being english specific and X-SAMPA is just an
ASCII translateration for IPA, so we may as well go for IPA. This is a
good candidate for a JOSM plugin, I think :)

Have a nice day,
