<pre wrap="">Please don't try to find things that "work". At the moment there's no
convention on marking roads that are truely unnamed, and when there's
a convention established (or more than one, who knows) then the
nonames map will be updated to use it. The best I've heard so far is
an additional tag of noname=true, which requires so much mental
gymnastics that I'm sure we can come up with a better one!
</pre>

<pre wrap="">There are only really three solutions, I think:
1. do nothing and don't worry about it
2. have a separate tag (as with noname=true)
3. have a special value for the name tag (name=none or some such)

I would prefer allowing empty values for keys, as an empty string is more intuitive than any other arbitrary value, and it is easily generalizable to all keys (vs. noname, nomaxspeed, nowhatever etc.). Of course, that would require to change the editors (at least JOSM).

I agree with andy and dave.<br>
dont try to put something that "works", just use map features approved
tags.<br>
<br>
3_ is trouble, name=noname means that it does have a name and the name
is "noname". you ever know what a name can be around the world.<br>
<br>
also empty value can be a mistake, so we will be validating mistakes.<br>
<br>
some times a way has no marked name but has one, maybe someone behind
you can find the name (local authorities, local knowledge, or they just
repair the signal....)<br>
<br>
so i would defenetly do 1 until a proper tag is aproved.<br>
