Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

What data does mkgmap need to make a map? I mean if I read this data from stdin:

<node id="310855231" lat="43.1136926" lon="132.3507725" version="1" changeset="723122" user="Claudius Henrichs" uid="18069" visible="true" timestamp="2008-11-09T19:12:36Z">
<tag k="name" v="Большой Камень"/>
<tag k="place" v="village"/>
<tag k="created_by" v="Potlatch 0.10f"/>
<tag k="name:de" v="Bolschoi Kamen"/>
</node>
<node id="34395335" lat="43.1836793" lon="44.5326631" version="6" changeset="1624986" user="KekcuHa" uid="30590" visible="true" timestamp="2009-06-25T19:21:56Z">
<tag k="name" v="Беслан"/>
<tag k="place" v="town"/>
<tag k="cladr:name" v="Беслан"/>
<tag k="created_by" v="Potlatch 0.10b"/>
<tag k="addr:postcode" v="363000"/>
<tag k="addr:district" v="Правобережный район"/>
<tag k="int_name" v="Beslan"/>
<tag k="cladr:code" v="1500800100000"/>
<tag k="addr:country" v="RU"/>
<tag k="addr:region" v="Северная Осетия - Алания республика"/>
<tag k="is_in" v="Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, Russia"/>
<tag k="cladr:suffix" v="Город"/>
</node>

would it be ok to only write to stdout:

<node id="310855231" lat="43.1136926" lon="132.3507725">
<tag k="place" v="village"/>
<tag k="name:transliterated" v="Bolshoi Kamel"/>
</node>
<node id="34395335" lat="43.1836793" lon="44.5326631" >
<tag k="place" v="town"/>
<tag k="int_name" v="Beslan"/>
</node>

Where my program takes extra time it could save the next in the link time by offering less data? Just an idea.
