Please, please, do not use this convention. If there is no name or no
ref thats enough to know that something might be missing. If one uses
'fixme' and the next one uses 'tbd' and the next 'missig' and the next
one uses 'unknown' as "special values", the map will be full of strange
names and nobody will be able to find anything!
