That's where I disagree. For simplicity, the tag "name" should remain as
mandatory for naming stuff and keep operator and brand as options for
supplementary information.
Otherwise we will find quickly on the wiki amenities/shops with names and
some with operators/brands only or the name as last option (as it happend in
the past for "bank" and today for fuel station), etc... In short, the chaos.
