That's annoying for public transport using the Oxomoa scheme which seems unknown at least for stable JOSM. But in general I find it ok to warn. I don't perceive "Unknown" as "Unknown as a whole" but "Unknown to the JOSM validator". You should pay attention, that's all. > * "unnamed ways" (warning) - I think it is perfectly normal to draw streets > from aerial imagery and have no name for them. This often saved me from uploading data where I forgot to ad name to newly traced streets. I think it will do more good than bad. Again, this is a warning only and only the user can decide. I second that dialogues should be more modest and don't say "Data has errors." if that isn't dead sure (OTOH, I myself never read the title text anyway). I'd call it "Data may have issues". I myself am closely paying attention to errors and warnings listed and think the validator is a strong point of JOSM. But I also ignore stuff after validating it myself.
