The idea is that the perfect mapping for a street that has no name is simply a street with no name tag. The smartest validator in the world will not be able to discern this from a road that does have a name, just nobody has bothered adding the name tag. This is why we need to be able to say: "It's ok like that, dear validator, don't worry". Basically, the tagging equivalent of a "sic!" in written language.
