Where do you draw the limit? name:en is on thousands of nodes but in 
many of these places it is not an official or even a minority language 
but an extra language. Should languages with over 1 billion (native and 
non-native) speakers be allowed to put name:xx all over the world. 500m? 
10m? 10 thousand?
