[Tagging] "not:brand" to mark a shop that isn't part of a chain?

[Francesco Ansanelli]

Hello Joseph,

I have to say that I'm not a fan of the tag, IMHO negation is something
that will make harder to do searches...
If the burger king is not the food chain keep the brand empty and write a
note or do a Wikipedia page about it, probably an historical activity
deserve it.

About the no name, this already exists:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:noname

Can you please point out why adopt the new syntax instead?

Cheers,
Francesco
