Comment from SomeoneElse
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2075957897 seems to have a duplicate "seamark:name" and "name". Is there any reason for this? Are there any situations in which a "seamark:name" for something would actually be different to the "name" (as, for example, a bridge might have a different name to the road that runs across it)?

Comment from malcolmh
The value of the tag “seamark:name” is the name of the object as known to sailors (i.e. as it appears on other nautical charts) This is often different to the local vernacular name, which will be the value of the “name” tag. Having the two types of name tag guards against edit conflicts between sailors and landlubbers!
