Hi all, I want to propose a technically clean way to deal with unnamed streets and other false positives of the maplint checks.
The patch at http://www.petschge.de/osm/ignore-tags/maplint.patch modifies the maplint checks to suppress the warning / error if a tag with validate:$testname=ignore is present on the object. For a street which does not have a name (for whatever reason) one would you k="validate:residential-without-name" v="ignore". The following new tags are recognized by maplint using this patch: validate:empty-tag-key validate:empty-tag-value validate:untagged-way validate:bridge-or-tunnel-without-layer validate:deprecated-tags validate:motorway-without-ref validate:place-of-worship-without-religion validate:poi-without-name validate:residential-without-name validate A tag of k="validate" v="ignore" would disable ALL checks in maplint for this object. This should only be used if no other more specific tag work. Please note that the patch file is large than strictly necessary because it contains the changes to tests.xml and tests.xsl which are auto-generated from the individual (changed) test files. Please also note that the mapfeatures page in the wiki would have to be extended with an "validator key" category containing the keys listed above. Otherwise maplint is going to complain about the fact that those keys are not in mapfeatures. Technical feedback from the developers of other validation tools is welcome.
