</div>The problem with name="" is that it isn't blindingly obvious what that<br>
means to other mappers... people are likely to just delete it as an<br>
unnecessary empty tag. There are also probably a few of these about<br>
already.<br>
<br>
The good point about name=__none__ is that I can bet large amounts of<br>
money that no street is actually named "__none__" -- the bad points<br>
are that renderers that don't know about it are going to write it in<br>
the street name, and that if little Bobby Tables gets elected to a<br>
council somewhere we may be in trouble ;-)<br>
<br>
I'd also be keen on something that no sane yahoo tracer could think<br>
was a good thing to add.<br>
