this often doesn't help though, because in remote areas there is nothing to
"administer". Some time ago the case of the Mont Blanc came up on a local
mailing list, more precisely in which language the name should be tagged
(the decision was to put both names into the name tag:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/281399025/history although France is
claiming to "administer" the peak alone).

Cheers,
Martin
