Not sure understand the point of adding name:fr=* which is exactly the same as name=*. Surely software should just fall back to name=* tag.

it is *not*, in French you have hyphens, not blanks as separator.
For alt_name:fr, it's because the alternative name is also valid in French. There is a subtle difference between I don't have the name, use the default one and this is correct in your language. -

And yes, [coalesce](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/functions-conditional.html#FUNCTIONS-COALESCE-NVL-IFNULL) does the job, except in some case.
Let ave a IT/FR/EN preference. The user on a dynamic map would see the one with hyphens because the name:it is not given, not the name. -
Comment from chillly
I seem to have hit a raw nerve, judging by your terse answer. I now see the hyphens. I'm so sorry for diverting you from whatever it was that you were doing and working you up into a lather.

No, it's good to question (especially as you did it very politely). And the discussion for having the same name in different languages equal to the default language is perfectly valid. We had it on [talk-fr]... and I thought as you BTW ;-). But the case of multiple user language preference was raised.
