You didn't geht my point "that such tags are often set by mistake, or just to shut up a validator". If a mapper wishes to tell others that he didn't find a name, he should rather be more verbose, by setting a note=* (or note1=* or note2=* or note:name=* etc.). Only then, others can be assured that he was really looking for a name. However, this still does not imply that the street has no name. Maybe he simply overlooked the sign, or the sign was stolen, or the name is oral tradition only, or to be found in literature. -- Friedrich K.
