Hmmm. I'm not sure recognition by RyanAir is the same as recognition by
the UN :-) To avoid various kinds of "recognized by whom?" disputes,
maybe name:unitednations or something. Maybe also name:icao assuming
that's the name they use. Again, trying to document the various
opinions on the matter rather than trying to decide between them.

I changed this because it struck me that old_name was something of an
inconsistency. I don't know what Map Features has to say. It seems to
me that anything which isn't two letters (or two letters <underscore>
two letters, e.g. en_GB) can be used as a colon suffix for name.
name:old therefore seemed more consistent to me than old_name. But, in
happy contrast to user_7363, I'm flexible on this and most other points :-)
