there is no way we could/would change the definition of the name tag. 
It is for the name, whether that comprises a “category name” or not depends on 
the culture/language and instance, whether or not the category is part of the 
name (Deutschland, United Kingdom, United States of America, to name a few 
obvious, Bodensee, Lake Erie, Lago di Como, New York City, Feldberg, Mont 
Blanc, ....)  has to be decided with solid knowledge of the language and 
context, on an individual basis.
