I think a common method to evaluate the name of an OSM object is a good
idea.
Searching for "name" (including the quotes) in the sources I found various
places that search for tags 
- equal to "name"
- containing "name"
- ending with ":name"

and it's difficult to understand why they all look a little bit different.
Some are evaluating the name-tag-list, some are not (and cannot, e.g. the
BoundaryElementSaver).
I don't know how many different methods we really need.
