I can not comment on that as I don't have any clue about the internals
of the validators.  But I would have thought that checking for the
presence of a certain tag like validator:ignore=no_name should be
straight forward since this is what validators do all the time.

Of course the spelling and meaning of those tags needs to be
coordinated, probably on a wiki page like Map_Features which then
could look like:

| no_name    | Don't warn if element doesn't have a name. |
| not_closed | Don't warn if way is not closed.           |

Validator authors can then decide whether they want to implement that
or not.
