I'm not against using qualifiers for groups and city styles per se, but 
your patch add unnecessary clutter to all nation rulesets. However if 
someone devised a system where we could define and give groups and city 
styles an alias stripped of the gettext qualifier that individual 
rulesets then could point to, then I wouldn't have any objections.

In any case, at this stage there are no ambiguity regarding city 
styles. See excerpt from sv.po generated with my patch applied below.
