Of course that breaks comparability. And it make sense too to also say which tag this comment is about. Please leave the name=* tag alone as it is: the words by which something is referred to in local language (a definition missing from Key:name <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name> and Names <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names> which as usual in this wiki define name as the name and even as the default name, like a survey being a survey, causing everybody to have his own interpretation of it and discussions like this).
If you want to keep in line with the wiki, that is Names <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names>, add a something_name=* to it for your purpose. And if you want to do unlike the wiki, don't forget to specify what to do when there are several "patron saints" like name=Église Saints-Hermès-et-Alexandre
