Hi all,

PR #282 has just been opened following conversations in #273 and #281 to disambiguate the current `stop_name` description.

The current description reads:
> Name of the location. Use a name that people will understand in the local and tourist vernacular.

"local and tourist vernacular" is confusing.

The proposed update is:
> Name of the location. The `stop_name` should match the agency's rider-facing name for the location as printed on a timetable, published online, or represented on signage. For translations into other languages, use `translations.txt`.

Looking forward to feedback. Thanks!
Scott
