Did anyone really investigate how bad using common phonetic rules PER 
LANGUAGE on osm names?
For many names that should work I think, at least when the right 
language is detected correctly.
That, on the other hand, could be hinted by using the corresponding 
name:[lang] tags (name:de, name:en, ...), probably even when the main 
language might be redundant.
