[OSM-newbies] omit street names

[simon blackmore]

Thanks John and Richard,

It was actually a case of a simple edit of osm.xml
I just needed some confidence.

Maperitive looks great, and I wish I had heard of it earlier,
but after the arduous installation of Mapnik I am can going to stick  
with that.
So far it seems fantastic.

Thanks again for your replies.

Cheers

Simon
