Persian Gulf is not something appeared in recent years. It was called so 
for centuries not just by Persians but also by all. So calling it 
Persian Gulf is not something related to Persian point of view. The only 
change is the point of view that you advocate.

Let's not open politics here in this issue. Let`s handle this issue with 
great possibilities and Flexibility offered by OSM.

I think we discussed the challenges related to language and came to some 
kind of understanding to consider county+language both for tagging.
