[Tagging] name and brand tags

[Johan C]

It's not uncommon that actually the brand (e.g. Texaco) is being used on
either operator, or brand, or name. Only the latter is rendered, which can
be logical as in common speaking one easily says: I'll fill my car up at
the next Texaco' rather than saying 'I'll fill my car up at the fuel
station of Mr. xxx'

Due to the current Mapnik rendering I often use name where it's actually
the brand (yeh, I know, it's tagging for the renderer)
