15217	[PATCH][RFC] Use name-suggestion-index	mkoniecz	team	"name-suggestion-index [1] is a list of commonly used name values for suggesting correct spelling of name tags. It can also help automatically suggesting the correct shop tag given the name.

It has been already implemented in iD [2] and Vespucci [3].

Would it be an idea to implement this in JOSM as well? I can imagine it would take quite some coding to do this, but I think it would be really useful if implemented. Inconsistent shop names are a common problem, and hard to correct [4].
