But this is a mistake. "addr:housename" has not been created to
replace "name", "operator", "brand" or "addr:housenumber". As the wiki
says, it has been created for houses without numbers and designated by
a name. If you build an address for a POI, you need all tags "addr:*"
plus the POI "name". We don't have to duplicate the POI name into
"addr:housename".
