I followed that forum.
This will help mappers to fill in those unknown and remote territories and it
will help stranded travellers to look for a settlement on the map although the
name is not mapped on OSM yet, you can expect at least some 'civilization'.
I don't see that argument there, only that you cannot change that by
editing the TYP file.
If you travel there, you can see at least there is a town, only the local name
is not been mapped yet.
It appears in the search as 'unknown' or 'place' but it will not make the index
crash does it?
There were reports that some devices crashes with empty names
last year, but don't remember details anymore.
Yip, I can remember that too. You do need to give a name to a city poi -
or make it a POI using a different hexcode outside of the city search..

Which sense would it make to have cities without name?
Ok, you see there is a city, but you don't know which one
and you cannot search for them. And it will fill up the search
list with "Noname" entries (or whatever else default name your
device will use).
