Data Working Group's position on this is that the community - meaning
all who live and map there - need to come to an amicable resolution and
as long as they don't, the node will either remain nameless, or it will
have both a Hebrew and Arab name combined in the "name" tag. This
suggestion was met with either silence or attempts to drag us into a
political disussion, which we refused.
We will not participiate in this discussion on talk but we'll be
interested to hear what the wider community has to say.
Bye
Frederik
