[Tagging] name and brand tags

[Mateusz Konieczny]

How these tags should be used?

Nameless object, with brand (for example petrol station).
IMHO it should be tagged brand=*, without name.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:brand currently encourages
setting brand and name to the same value. Is it really a good idea?

Objects without brand, in class where brand is typical.
brand=Independent is popular, what IMHO is a poor idea.

Post promted by https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/972
that proposes rendering brand in default style.
