By closer look it is not exactly that way. However, I guess that the
structure of data is changed.
http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/readme.txt is listing fields
"name", "asciiname", "alternatenames" but the data sample that we have in 
autotest/ogr/data/allCountries.txt?rev=27748
seems to have just one name field.
